I wonder why, depending on the bomb, the radius some radius don't come in the same order. Some time the air blast is larger than the fireball, sometimes not.

- maxerickson 12y agoOne thing that factors into that is the surface vs airburst setting (the presets differ). edit: for the simulation, the other major thing that factors into it must be the "fission fraction", the presets store 4 things: name, yield, a field marking surface/airburst and the fission fraction.
- jacquesm 12y agoThat's a function of the density of the material around the bomb at the time of the explosion.
- kijin 12y agoThe fireball radius and air blast radius are probably proportional to different multiples and/or powers of the bomb's total energy. For example, if A = 7x^2 and B = 2x^3, A will be larger than B when x is small, but B will overtake A as x grows beyond a certain point.
