The Effect of Non-Spherical Collapse on Determination of Explosion Bubble Parameters

Abstract

The technique developed by Arons (1948) for determining the parameters that characterise the adiabatic model of underwater explosion bubble contents is revised to account for the effect of non-spherical collapse. Additional modifications are made to enhance accuracy. The parameters predicted are similar to those given by Arons but consideration of the pressure in the fluid when the bubble rebounds shows the agreement to be somewhat fortuitous. Error bounds for the parameters are given for the first time.
