PROBE MEASUREMENTS OF UNDERWATER EXPLOSION BUBBLES.
Abstract
A previous report 1 discussed various methods of measuring the size and rate of growth of the bubble produced by large underwater explosions. It was concluded in the report that the only feasible direct measuring system is the probe. The construction and testing of a prototype probe is described in this report. Measurements of the bubble produced by a 4-3/4 pound charge of TNT verify that the probe method is indeed feasible and also quite accurate. (Author)
