Time and again, unexploded aerial bombs from the Second World War need to be defused or detonated in controlled explosions. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for High-Speed Dynamics, Ernst-Mach-Institut, EMI are working together with partners to develop models that predict fragmentation flight and simulate the underground spread of shock waves. This can help to reduce evacuation zones as well as improve forecasting of the risks to underground structures.
