A theoretical method for the prediction of underwater explosion pulses at caustics
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1971/12)Our concern [Refs. 1 and 2J is with the effect of refraction on the long range propagation of underwater explosion shock waves. Here, as with acoustic sources, ray tracing can be used to predict refraction effects. From ... -
Experimental data on the refraction of underwater explosion pulses
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1971/12)There are several reasons why a researcher in underwater acoustics might be interested in the use of explosion pulses as sources. The most generally recognized reason is that explosions are convenient and powerful sources ... -
Ocean-basin reverberation from large underwater explosions: part 1: source-level and propagation-loss modelling
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10)Predicting the reverberant returns from ocean basin reflectors requires describing acoustic source levels for large, conventional underwater explosions, defining the two way propagation loss and signal spreading from the ... -
Ocean-basin reverberation from large underwater explosions: part 2: computer model for reverberation
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10)Following detonation of an underwater explosion, sound reverberates from the ocean surface and bottom and from scatterers within the medium. In addition, the boundaries of the ocean basin and obstructions within it, such ... -
The application of high-speed processors to propagation experiments using explosives
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12)The possibility of analysing explosive signals directly, without an intermediate recording system, offers large improvement~ in the quality and rapid availability of results from acoustic propagation experiments. The ...
