Abstract: To provide a theoretical guidance for the application of ship seismic wave in mine fuze, the excitation mechanism and motion law of ship seismic wave in the semi-infinite two-layered ocean environment are theoretically deduced based on wave theory, and then the propagation characteristics of ship seismic wave are also studied. The analysis results show that the ship seismic wave is composed of Scholte wave and normal mode wave, in which low frequency cutoff and frequency dispersion phenomena exist. When frequency increases to a certain value, the frequency dispersion phenomenon disappears, and the motion trajectory of the particle is elliptical. The particle amplitude of Scholte wave decays rapidly away from the seabed and its energy is mainly concentrated in the depth of one wavelength, but its lateral attenuation is small. A staggered grid finite difference method is applied to the numerical simulation of ship seismic wave, and the wave field snapshots and time-domain waveforms are given. The lake trial is carried out, the time-frequency distribution characteristics of lakebed seismic wave signal are presented, and the feasibility of using ship seismic wave as a new physical field of mine fuze is also analyzed.
