In fluid dynamics, a blast wave is the increased pressure and flow resulting from the deposition of a large amount of energy in a small, very localised volume. The flow field can be approximated as a lead shock wave, followed by a self-similar subsonic flow field.

The simplest form of a blast wave (time vs Pressure) has been described and termed the Friedlander waveform.[1] It occurs when a high explosive detonates in a free field, that is, with no surfaces nearby with which it can interact.
