Download or read book Water Waves Generated By Underwater Explosion written by Bernard Le Mehaute and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1996-04-16 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book on explosion-generated water waves. It presents the theoretical foundations and experimental results of the generation and propagation of impulsively generated waves resulting from underwater explosions. Many of the theories and concepts presented herein are applicable to other types of water waves, in particular, tsunamis and waves generated by the fall of a meteorite. Linear and nonlinear theories, as well as experimental calibrations, are presented for cases of deep and shallow water explosions. Propagation of transient waves on dissipative, nonuniform bathymetries together with laboratory simulations are analyzed and discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographic data for the cavities and surface waves generated by explosions in shallow water are described. The data were obtained in a slender wedge-shaped tank of water having one transparent sidewell. Ideally the tests would be equivalent to those for a 1-lb sphere of TNT exploded in a shallow test pond with a vertical axis of symmetry. The cavities and waves generated in the wedge tank did correspond roughly with such data, but there were differences in detail caused by the sidewalls of the wedge tank and the ceiling over it. The wedge tank data indicate that the horizontal radius of the expanded cavity is nearly independent of the water depth, even when the water depth is less than one-third the cavity radius. The wave trains are nearly independent of the water depth until the depth is less than three-fourths the cavity radius, after which the wave heights begin to decrease in proportion to the water depth. The cavities and waves were hardly affected when the hard bottom of the tank was replaced by sand, even when the water was shallow. A surf zone was created in the wedge-tank when the bottom was contoured, so that the waves shoaled. The measured wave trains corresponded reasonably well with those predicted by the theory of Kranzer and Keller for an initially motionless cavity. The calculated wave trains were based on the procedure developed by Whalin, on the measured cavity dimensions, and on two empirical factors. (Author).

This book was released on 1966 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a summary and review of the theoretical analysis and formulae which are used for the prediction of the surface wave systems resulting from shallow underwater explosions. A two-parameter formula for such wave systems is derived and used to deduce their characteristics, which are discussed in some detail. The theoretical results are compared with the limited experimental data available. The specifications are given for four PEGASUS Autocode programs which evaluate the formulae. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the theoretical development of a hydrodynamic computer code for the computation of the initial state of the water following a surface of shallow underwater explosion, and the subsequent response of the water for a limited time period later. The state of the water comprises the velocity, pressure, and energy distributions. The results of the computation provide a measure of the efficiency of the explosion in terms of the fraction of the mechanical explosive energy imparted to the water, and permit a prediction of the resulting surface wave shapes. The computation involves solving by an iterative numerical scheme, a set of Poisson-type partial differential equations with appropriate boundary conditions. Convergence criteria were established by numerical experimentation on the computer and by comparison with highspeed motion picture data obtained in smallscale underwater explosion tests. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the course of developing the capability of predicting the characteristics of water waves generated by explosions detonated in shallow water beneath the ocean floor, the pertinent data from past experiments were analysed using dimensional analysis as a framework. Data were examined from one series of high explosive cratering experiments detonated beneath the floor in shallow water, and from two series of high explosive experiments and one nuclear explosive experiment detonated above the floor in shallow water. The data indicate that the maximum radius of the water column produced by the explosion is proportional to the cube root of the ratio of explosive yield to ambient pressure at the point of detonation. Further, the data show that the maximum radius of the column of water is proportional to the square root of the product of wave height and distance from the source. The conclusions of this scheme of analysis are being tested with hydrodynamic computer code calculations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Waves Produced by Explosions In our analysis we assume that the surface elevation n and the accompanying water motion, are symmetric about an axis through the center of the disturbance. If r denotes distance from this axis and t denotes time then we may write n We also assume that the water is of finite uniform depth, which we denote by h and that the linear theory of surface waves is applicable. Both of these assumptions will be analysed in a later report. In the next two sections we present and discuss the results of our analyses for the cases of initial impulse and initial displacement respectively. Typical graphs of the wave height as a function of r and of t are included. Then in section IV these resulte are applied to the problem of wave production by explosions. The mathematical analysis is contained in an appendix. A list of references to previous work on this subject is appended. Of the previous work the earliest, that of Poisson is the most relevant. However he considers water of infinite depth. Furthermore he obtains detailed results only for paraboloidal and ellipsoidal depressions. Burnside [h] also considers infinite depth, but only twodimensional motion. He obtains a series for the wave motion produced by an initial elevation of very spe01al shape.
