The underwater electrical wire explosion (UEWE) is an appealing source of underwater shock waves (SWs) with a high conversion efficiency from electrical energy to mechanical energy, good repeatability and controllability. Industrial applications are already seen in oil-well unblocking and stratum stimulation, and research is currently underway to apply UEWEs in electro-hydraulic forming, exploitation of unconventional gas and oil resources, etc. The emerging new applications call for a review on UEWE research from the perspective of an efficient SW source. This review paper considers the physical processes and numerical simulation methods, electrical and SW characteristics, and current and potential applications, and provides suggestions for future research directions. The code (XJ_UEWE01) developed by the authors to solve a coupling model of UEWE is included. The paper will provide students and researchers new to this field with an explanation of basic concepts of UEWE and a detailed overview of previous studies, and will aid research on UEWE applications, especially device development and parameter optimization.

The purpose of this research is to optimize food processing using simulation results based on computational mechanics of food processing technology with high pressure induced by underwater shock waves. In order to establish the characteristics of shock wave propagation in the food and in the food processing vessel, finite element models of the food, the surrounding water, the high pressure source, and the vessel were developed using commercial finite element software. Conducting a series of computational simulations, we found that the pressure distribution is dependent on the food’s unique characteristics, associated with the acoustic impedance. The different interfaces were obtained and observed. The computational results revealed that for certain food, both the transmitted and the reflected waves can be used during the food processing stages.
