title: A fluid dynamical theory of microexplosion for medicine and biology.
abstract: The possibility of an application of microexplosion to medicine has been studied by Watanabe et al., who found silver azide and lead azide to be most suitable explosives for this purpose. In the present paper, we calculated by means of fluid dynamics some mechanical effects produced by "microexplosives" such as (i) solid-angle dependence of pressure, (ii) distance-dependence of pressure, (iii) velocity of the shock wave, (iv) time-dependence of pressure, (v) temperature and (vi) energy efficiency.
