The mechanism of liquid dispersing from a cylinder driven by central dynamic shock loading

A systematic investigation on the mechanism of dynamic liquid dispersing process via theoretical and experimental approach is presented.The experiments include weak and strong constrained scenarios using the high-speed camera technique and the flash X-ray radiography technique.Based on dynamic analysis,one-dimensional characteristics analysis and some numerical simulations on the propagating processes of blast waves before the container shell rupturing,further and detailed analyses of the experimental results are presented.The effects of the liquid viscosity on the dynamic dispersing flow are also analyzed,and the spall fracture mechanism is explored.Thus,the dominating forces determining the dispersing liquid flow are revealed,that is,the stretching and shearing action due to the interaction of two reflecting rarefaction waves in opposite propagating directions.The influence of container shell strength on the dispersing liquid flow is also investigated,and the characters of cavitation layered in liquid before shell rupturing are uncovered.Results revealed that different shell material results in different cavitating layers.Then the different cavitating layers drive the different dynamic liquid dispersing process coming into being.The metastable liquid states caused by pressure drop and cavitation generation are discussed.

Monitoring and Prediction of the Vibration Intensity of Seismic Waves Induced in Underwater Rock by Underwater Drilling and Blasting

All underwater drilling and blasting operations generate seismic waves.However,due to a lack of suitable vibration sensing instruments,most studies on the propagation of seismic waves have been limited to shorelines near construction areas or wharfs,whereas comparatively few studies have beerconducted on the larger seafloor itself.To address this gap,a seafloor vibration sensor system was developed and applied in this study that consists of an autonomous acquisition storage terminal,soft-ware platform,and hole-plugging device that was designed to record the blasting vibration intensities received through submarine rocks at a given measurement point.Additionally,dimensional analyses were used to derive a predictive equation for the strength of blast vibrations that considered the in fluence of the water depth.By combining reliable vibration data obtained using the sensor system in submarine rock and the developed predictive equation,it was determined that the water depth was ar important factor influencing the measured vibration strength.The results using the newly derivedequation were compared to those determined using the Sadowski equation,which is commonly used on land,and it was found that predictions using the derived equation were closer to the experimental values with an average error of less than 10%,representing a significant improvement.Based on these results the developed sensor system and preliminary theoretical basis was deemed suitable for studying the propagation behavior of submarine seismic waves generated by underwater drilling and blasting operations.
