What happens after a large explosion with a shockwave?

760 views

I was trying to read up on the mechanics behind an explosion in light of the tragedy in Beirut, but there’s a couple of things I’m not really understanding. I’m unsure of the concept of entropy and I’m unclear of the term shockwave if it applies to the visible portion of an explosion or the resulting blast followed afterwards. Any help is appreciated!

I don’t fully understand you answer, do you want to know what happens with the shockwave afterwards? that is simple to answer. the shockwave gets weaker over time, because of friction
