Structure of shock waves in underwater explosion

Abstract

Until the present time the study of underwater explosions was a privilege of hydrodynamics, which studies the motion of liquids and their interaction with solids. In theoretical hydrodynamics, for description of the movement of an incompressible liquid, having continuity and fluidity, as well as viscosity, one uses the continuity equation and Navier-Stokes’ equations. It is difficult to solve this problem by simply writing a complete system of conservation laws in the form of differential equations and closing defining relations, or by developing unique computer programs and codes.
