Abstract—

The results of numerical calculations of cylindrical explosions in the atmosphere are presented, simulating the energy release during the vertical fall of meteoroids with radii of 1–10 m. It is shown that the dependence of the shock wave amplitude on the direction of its propagation differs significantly from the same dependence for spherical explosions of the same energy. This difference becomes more pronounced as the meteoroid size decreases. Calculations of excess pressure on the Earth’s surface have shown that the maximum of this pressure during a vertical fall of meteoroids is observed not at the point of intersection of the trajectory with the surface (i.e., under the region of energy release), but at some distance from it, which is determined by the height of destruction and deceleration of the meteoroid.
