Advanced Fluid Modeling Capability for Underwater Shock Analysis of Naval Ships
Abstract
In accord with our Phase I Work Plan, this report presents the results of a series of underwater explosion (UNDEX) simulations done with two different computer programs. Our purpose here is to provide evidence of the complementary capabilities of the two codes while assessing their relative strengths and weaknesses. Our ultimate goal (at the end of Phase II) is to develop a computer program that accurately simulates critical UNDEX effects. Our strategy for doing this is to merge the best features of the two codes, thereby producing a single code with orders-of-magnitude improvement in computational efficiencies. Though more work will be needed to clarify unresolved issues, our Phase I results confirm the soundness of our strategy.
