Surf Zone Explosive Channel Modeling

Abstract

The long-term goal of this project is to develop a reliable and robust predictive methodology of general applicability for predicting the sizes of craters and channels produced in the surf zone by underwater explosions of single bombs, lines of bombs, and line charges. These predictions will be used in the mine and obstacle-breaching strategy of forming clear channels approaching the beach for use by amphibious assault vehicles.
