Detonations Near the Water Surface

Abstract

The results of an experimental and theoretical study of the compressible flow resulting from a sphere of 9404 explosive initiated at its center and partially immersed in water are described. The flow was studied experimentally using radio graphic and photographic techniques. Compressible hydrodynamic calculations were performed using multicomponent Eulerian numerical techniques.
