How to calculate underwater explosions?

[Antvasima]

DontTalk is usually only interested in participating in policy revision threads nowadays.

Perhaps Executor N0 is willing to help out?

I will summon him.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay.

Here is the Cole thing the pdf keeps referencing btw. That probably tells you everything you will ever need to know about the topic, but one would have to read it... (chapter 4.8 sounds interesting) Sadly all of my focus for science stuff is currently on the two exams I write in the next 2 weeks, so I will leave the research to you.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you for the help.

Welp, someone just has to take a look at the document and extract the important stuff. I'm most of the day in the Airport so I have no time for that, not at the moment.

I'll be unavailable for a whole month after a few days.

So on pages 40 and 45 of the pdf that DontTalk linked, it looks like shockwave velocities and temperatures increase as pressure increases. On page 91 the detonation velocity was calculated at 7720 m/s, which corresponded to a pressure of 205 kilobars. So, if an explosion is calculated at or above 7720 m/s, would it be fair to assume that it had a pressure at or above 205 kilobars.

You can ask the other calc group members to comment here via their message walls if you wish.

Bump.

This thread is months old though, I guess a new one should be made?

That may be best in order to get more attention, yes.
