Cavitation dynamics and underwater explosions represent a confluence of complex fluid mechanical processes and energetic events that have captivated researchers for decades. The phenomena involve the ...
Underwater electrical explosions entail the rapid vaporisation of metal conductors immersed in water through high-voltage, pulsed electrical discharges, leading to a near-instantaneous release of ...
(a) Penetration of the metal jet; (b) propagation of the ballistic wave and shock wave; (c) bubble pulsation. The time t (in milliseconds) is labeled in the bottom right corner, which corresponds to ...
A fishing vessel hauling its pots suddenly triggered a massive underwater explosion caused by a World War II bomb. This explores how unexploded wartime ordnance still litters the seafloor, why it ...
