Microscopic Explosions

[Lilybitdun]

What psi do you use for micro-scale explosions like shown here?

for context the player and all the enemies are made of individual cells and the person in the video is using an explosive cell

all the psi examples on the explosion yield page are for regular sized verses so I'm not sure what fits

 

[Lilybitdun]

I haven't personally been able to find anything on the psi of microexplosions

Ask a CGM

thanks captain obvious

 

[AyOgUyS]

thanks captain obvious

Your welcome lol

In all seriousness tho, I would just do a PSI of 0.0000000001 or smth, hope the results make sense

if they don't, do another PSI value

 

[Lilybitdun]

Yeah my thoughts were either do minimum psi listed on the explosive yield page (0.15 psi) or use the explosive charge from fireball size method as the yield

 

[AyOgUyS]

calc that and see if the result makes sense or not

I'm kinda waiting for the results of another calc first

ok

Based on this, probably 500 MPa (or 5000 bars) I think. Though I don't know if our explosion formula can be applied for medium different from air.

Oh wow that seems really high

Is there a different formula for underwater explosions?

 

[Floxy178]

Yeah but after applying radius you'll get something around, microjoules range, I think?

Is there a different formula for underwater explosions?

I haven't seen one for liquid medium to be honest, so better wait for further input. If no one comments here I can tag several CGMs later.

Nope. You should probably just use this calc as an example

 

[Floxy178]

Nope. You should probably just use this calc as an example

Formula variables aren't the concern, the formula is. Since, yk it's based on air-blast behavior like air shock propagation, air density, etc. etc.

But yeah since similar calc is already accepted I'll agree with it for now.

 

[Lilybitdun]

Ah okay, so the explosion formula is fine to use for now?

 

[Floxy178]

I guess so.
