A numerical solution is given for the 2D problem of the detonation products scattering of exploding cylindrical gaseous cloud. Numerical simulations have been performed for unconfmed gaseous explosions for various proportions of the longitudinal-to-transverse dimensions of the cloud. The near field of air blast is highly asymmetrical and directional, thus simple engineering approximations of the blast parameters have been given for various directions of blast wave propagation.
