Characterization of Underwater Explosive Loads of Blasting and Shaped Charges

Blasting and shaped charges are the main forms of underwater weapons,and their near-field underwater explosions(UNDEX)can severely damage structures.Therefore,it is of great importance to study underwater explosive load characteristics of different forms of charges.The full physical process of a typical underwater explosion of a sphere/column blasting charge and a shaped charge was simulated using the Eulerian method.The loading characteristics of the underwater blast shock wave and bubble,as well as the projectile,were studied.The results show that the shock wave loads of spherical,cylindrical,and polygonal charges propagate outward in spherical,ellipsoidal–spherical and ellipsoidal–spherical wavefronts,respectively.When the shock wave reaches 16 times the distance-to-diameter ratio,its surface is approximately spherical.In addition,in the shaped charge underwater explosion,the shaped charge liner cover absorbs 30°–90°of the shock wave energy and some of the bubble energy to form a high-speed shaped penetrator.Spherical,ellipsoidal,and ellipsoidal bubbles are generated by underwater explosions of spherical,cylindrical,and shaped charges,respectively.The obtained results provide a reference for evaluating the power of underwater weapons.
