Abstract:
This paper reports the results of numerical modeling of the magnetic dipole moment produced by displacement of the Earth's magnetic field in a one-kiloton underground nuclear explosion in a cavity. It is shown that with increase in cavity size, the magnetic dipole moment increases, reaching 10$^7$ A $\cdot$ m$^2$, which is approximately 200 times the magnetic dipole moment from a camouflet explosion. A factor of 100 decrease in the initial air density in cavities with radii of 10 and 20 m results in a reversal of the direction of the magnetic dipole moment vector.
Keywords:
underground nuclear explosion, magnetic dipole moment, decoupling.
