Abstract:a b s t r a c tShock focusing in water is a phenomenon that can occur during the impact of a shock wave generated by an underwater explosion onto any type of convergent marine structures. To predict the dynamic material response of the marine structure, it is important to understand the shock wave dynamics during the focusing event. In this paper, both experimental investigations and numerical studies of twodimensional shock focusing in water are presented. Here, a convergent geometry given by a logarithmic sp… 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.
