A Numerical Study on Shock Wave Characteristics for the Underwater Explosion

Article Preview

Abstract:

Underwater explosion is very important for underwater weapons-design technology and research on the damage effect of target structure. In this paper, the flow-out boundary and variable step-size multi-material Euler algorithm were utilized to analyze numerically the whole process of shock wave generation and propagation, as well as bubble formation and impulse of underwater explosion. The computed results reveal the energy output characteristics of underwater explosion by TNT charge, which provide an important scientific basis for formulation design of charge and improvement of damage effects for underwater target.
