Experimental Study of Shallow Water Explosive Loads in Different Underwater Media
The underwater media influence the underwater explosion shock wave of submerged charge and show different load characteristics.Comparative analysis of shallow water explosion load in different underwater media is performed to determine the seabed reflection coefficient and shallow water explosion tests are designed under three working conditions:with gravel,clay,and steel plate as the bottom media.Test results show that the reflection coefficient of the shock wave pressure peak under the steel plate condition is the largest,which is 1.185,while it is 1.069 and 1.055 under gravel and clay conditions.
