Abstract:a b s t r a c tUnderwater explosions near submerged marine structures can lead to severe conditions and subsequent damage, particularly if the geometry of the solid structure leads to shock focusing of the incident shock wave. In order to understand the dynamic response of submerged marine structures subjected to underwater explosions it is important to understand the fluid-structure coupling that occurs during the shock focusing event. In this paper, experiments and numerical simulations of shock focusing in … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
