DESCRIPTION:Despite the lack of experimental validation data associated wi
 th large-scale urban explosions\, existing Computational Fluid Dynamics (C
 FD) solvers are often used to understand how blast waves propagate in comp
 lex environments. Replicating large-scale events is often challenging and 
 costly\, and so leveraging blast scaling laws to gather empirical data fro
 m gram-scale charges provides a useful alternative for interrogating numer
 ical solvers and developing fast running tools. Throughout this presentati
 on\, key findings from this stream of research are discussed following a s
 ummary of existing capabilities at the University of Sheffield's Blast & I
 mpact Laboratory.
