Abstract:

In order to control the energy distribution of underwater explosion of explosive for the directional striking,the distribution characteristics of the explosion pressure field of a typical explosive-air column charge structure are studied.The pressure and impulse distribution of underwater explosions of explosives with different sizes of air domains are explored through experiment and numerical simulation.It is found that the air domain has a directional enhancement effect on the underwater explosions.The simulated results show that the air domain would cause the explosive products to impact the air-water boundary,resulting in an enhancement of peak pressure in the direction of the air domain in the near field water.With the change in bubble morphology,a vase-shaped bubble isolating energy is formed,leading to an enhancement of impulse behind the air domain.The above enhancement effects gradually disappear with the increase in distance,and the influence range of the impulse enhancement effect is wider.The research results indicate that the presence of air domain can significantly enhance the destructive effect within the near field in that direction.

Key words: underwater explosion, charge structure, bubble dynamics, energy distribution
