Evaluation of the Surface Cutoff Model in the USA Code

Abstract

This report documents a brief study performed to evaluate the incident-wave surface-cutoff model that is used in the underwater shock analysis (USA) code. Comparisons have been made between USA predictions of pressure and fluid-particle velocity and experimental results obtained with fluid-particle velocity meters and pressure transducers. For the time span encompassing shock- wave excitation, the correlations are good.
