Another Equation for Explosions

[Antoniofer]

Long time ago I made a blog proposing a new equation for explosions and how to scale it to durability, the equation is the following: W = R^3*((27136*P + 8649)^(1/2)/13568 - 93/13568)^2 where W = yield in tons of tnt, R = radius in meters, and P = pressure of the shockwave in bars; the equation is for explosion that happens at ground level, unlike the conventional explosion equation that we use, that is airbust explosion (above ground level)

Months ago DontTalk (vaguely) accepted it, and has been used in few calcs since then. However, the equation still hasn't been added to any calculation guide, without mentioning that there are some calcs that fulfil the requeriments of said equation but is used the airburst equation instead of this one.

So before any potential drastic change, I ask the other calculation members about the doubts of said equation and if it should be added.

You should preferably inform the other calc group members about this via their message walls. Likely Kaltias and DontTalkDT as well.

I already use this formula for explosions where the nearby buildings aren't significantly damaged.
