Abstract: AbstractThis paper presents the application of the Kingery-Bulmash equations and computational
fluid dynamics (CFD) approaches to model the August 2020 Beirut Port explosion and
consequently to predict the structural and nonstructural damage to ...Practical ApplicationsThe 2020 Beirut Port explosion stands as one of the most significant accidental urban
blasts in modern history, causing extensive structural damage and severely straining
hospital capacity. This study demonstrates that commonly used ...
