Abstract

In a context where more and more Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) are found on national territories or theaters of external operations, the fight against IEDs has intensified since 2008, aiming, in particular, at designing reliable blast mitigation systems. Aqueous foams were identified in the 1970s as an efficient protective medium against blast and sound effects. They have been widely used because of their ease of application, but the quantification of the physical phenomena leading to mitigation remains unclear.
