Abstract: In order to study the overpressure distribution law of a shock wave under the dynamic explosion of a cylindrical charge and the influence of the charge speed on the overpressure distribution law, a trinitrotoluene (TNT) cylindrical bare charge was selected. Additionally, a numerical simulation of a cylindrical charge explosion under different motion speeds was carried out using the AUTODYN finite element software. The results showed that during the static explosion of a cylindrical charge, the shock wave propagates outward in the form of an ellipsoid, whereas under the dynamic explosion, the shock wave overpressure field is an irregular ellipsoid, and the shock wave overpressure zone shifts to the velocity direction. With an increase in the charge velocity, the peak value of the shock wave overpressure increases gradually in the moving direction. The simulation data were analyzed, revealing that the calculation model of the dynamic explosion shock wave overpressure field of a cylindrical charge with a scaled distance of 1 m·kg−1/3 ≤ R¯ ≤ 1.5 m kg−1/3 can provide a reference basis for the study of dynamic explosion shock waves.
