BOTREF Code, Model 3 - A Computer Code for Predicting Target Response to Bottom Reflection of Underwater Explosion Shock Waves for Special Cases.
Abstract
This report describes a FORTRAN 4 computer code, BOTREF, Model 3, which is a modification of the original BOTREF Code developed at the Naval Surface Weapons Center. The primary reasons for modifying the code were twofold: (1) to reduce costly central processing time, and (2) to decrease central memory requirements. Like the original version of the program, it calculates the bottom-reflection pressure-time history of underwater explosion shock waves, where the bottom reflection is computed for incident exponential pulses and plane, homogeneous, elastic bottoms using a linear spherical-wave theory. Corrections for the nonlinear variations of the peak pressure and time constant with distance are included.
