1 Introduction

e shock wave produced by underwater explosion can causeserious damage to submarines and threaten survivability ofsubmarines [1] erefore knowledge on the pressure char-acteristics of shock waves is of particular importance to anoverall understanding of the shock resistance of submarinesAlthough numerous studies have been conducted [2ndash5] thereare still many tough problems to solve due to the violentinteractions between the structure and the shock wave es-pecially for the understanding of the wave propagation inmultilayer structures Among them the double-layer hemi-spherical shell is often used as the protective structure ofsubmarines and other underwater vehicles Hence in thispaper the pressure propagation characteristics of the un-derwater explosion shock wave in two hemispherical shellswith air or water among them are investigated

medium caused by the medium deformation is negligibleRecently Chen et al [8] applied one-dimensional cavitationtheory and section-varying bar theory to discuss the propa-gation characteristics of stress waves in simple plates andstiffened plates (T profiles and I profiles) Considering thecavitation effect the pressure and impulse on the wettedsurface are predicted accurately by analytical solution eyfound that obviously pressure drops and oscillations occur onthe wetted surface in the stiffened plates model due to thesuperposition of the reflected wave from the structure and theincident wave compared to the simple plate model Howeverthis analytical model is limited to the one-dimensional system

Valuable researches on pressure characteristics of theshock wave in structures using numerical simulation havealso been conducted Otsuka et al [9] utilized LS-DYNA3D an analysis code using the arbitraryLagrangianndashEulerian approach to simulate the propaga-tion process of the explosion shock waves produced by thetwo modes of detonation (a detonation cord and anemulsion explosive) in the three layers of air water andstructure ey found that as the air layer becomes thickthe peak pressure decreases in the water However theimpulse remains unchanged since the duration of pressureis increased by the effect of a reflected wave Yet theirsimulation lacks a comparative study between the differentmaterial layers Desceliers et al [10] presented a newnumerical hybrid method dedicated to the simulation ofthe transient elastic wave propagation in multilayer un-bounded media which can be fluid or solid subjected togiven transient loadsis method can capture clearly someprofiles of the elastic waves including reflected wavestransmitted waves and refracted surface waves However itis restricted to simple geometrical structures Wang et al[11] used the coupled EulerianndashLagrangian (CEL) methodin AUTODYN to investigate the shock wave propagationcharacteristics near the air-backed plate and water-backedplate ey found that two pressure peaks occurred in thesetwo numerical models where the first peak is generated bythe incident wave and the second peak is induced by thereflected wave from the plate due to the impedance of thewater being lower than that of the plate But in that workthey did not apply the CELmethod to multilayer structuresWu et al [12] investigated the protection effects of amitigation layer on the structure exerted by an underwaterexplosion with the help of the Mie-Greurouneisen mixturemodel and discussed the affections of the layer material(steel neoprene and polyethylene) layer thickness andexplosive-structure distance on protection effects eyconcluded that the acoustic impedance of the mitigationlayer plays an important role in determining not only theproperty of shock loads but also the occurrence of pro-tection effects of the mitigation layer while the layerthickness and explosive-structure distance have a littleeffect on the main shock loads Nevertheless the loads ofthe inner shock wave in the mitigation layer are their mainconcern In addition other scholars mainly focus onstructural response and damage characteristics [13ndash21] Ina word theoretical research based on certain assumptionsis suitable for a structure with a simple geometry while

numerical simulation is easier to implement to deal withshock wave propagation problems in complex structures

Owing to the presence of complex superposition ofmultiple waves geometry with curvature moving interfaceand large plastic deformation traditional theoretical re-search comes across many difficulties in solving shock wavepropagation characteristics in multilayer structures In orderto tackle these problems the CEL method in AUTODYN isadopted to study the propagation characteristics of the shockwave in the multilayer structures during underwater ex-plosion in the present worke shell thickness and the filledmedium between the double shells are focused and theirinfluences on the propagation of the shock wave are ana-lyzed e relationships among the incident the reflectedand the transmitted shock waves are discussed

2 Theoretical Background

21 Coupled Eulerian and Lagrangian Method Actually theprocess of underwater explosion near structures is a com-plicated fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem [22 23]Two sorts of methods are usually used to solve this problemnamely the Lagrangianmethod and Eulerianmethod [11 24]Both of them have their own advantages and limitations eLagrangian method is suitable for describing the stress strainand deformation of the structure However when encoun-tering large deformation problems the Lagrangian mesh isseverely distorted which leads to adverse effects on calcu-lation Conversely the Eulerian method can deal with largedeformation problems and some flow problems But itcannot track accurately material interfaces erefore acoupled EulerianndashLagrangian (CEL) analysis method whichcombines the advantages of these two methods is introducedto tackle FSI problems e structure part is solved by theLagrangian method while the fluid part is solved by theEulerian methode FSI between the two parts is carried outat the interface [11 25]is approach has beenmade possiblein some hydrocodes eg AUTODYN [25] and ABAQUS[26] Specifically in the Lagrangian method based on thefinite difference scheme the material is attached to the meshelement which deforms with the flow of the material and themass of the element remains constant [25] In the Lagrangiansolver given the node position x (x y z) the node velocityu the element density ρ the element volume V the internalenergy e and the governing equations are as follows[25 27 28]

A series of calculations in a Lagrangian subgrid are shownschematically in Figure 1 (the left column) A detailed de-scription about this process can be referred from the study in[25 30ndash32]

In the Eulerian solver assuming that the fluid is inviscidthe explosion process is adiabatic and the body force isneglected [27 28 33 34] e governing equations can bewritten as follows [35 36]

where ρ is the density u is the velocity E is the total energyP is the pressure ρu is the mass flux ρuu is the momentumflux and ρEu is the energy flux

In fact the Eulerian method contains two steps to ac-count for both the changes in the element solution caused bythe source and the transport of the material through themesh More details can be found in [32 37ndash39]

Besides the calculation process of the Eulerian solver isshown in Figure 1 (the right column) ere are also manycomplicated works that need to be accomplished includingthe calculation of intersection points intersecting linescommon areas surface area and three-dimensional volumeese detail descriptions can be found in [40ndash43]

22 Treatments of Fluid-Structure Interface e interactionbetween the structure and fluid is performed at the couplingsurface At the interface the structure described by theLagrangian view is regarded as the geometric and velocityboundary for the fluid Conversely the fluid is regarded asthe pressure boundary for the structure [25 32 37]

For the Lagrangian structure element the position xvelocity u force F and massm are defined at the node whilethe stress σ strain ε pressure P energy e and density ρ aredefined at the center of the element For the Eulerian fluidelement all variables are defined at the center of the elementexcept the position x (Figures 2(a) and 2(b)) is definitionmode facilitates the coupling between the Lagrangianstructure and the Eulerian fluid [25]

23 Numerical Validation Firstly the free-field underwaterexplosion model is established to validate the feasibility of theCELmethod inAUTODYN [25] for simulating the shockwavepressure e spherical TNTcharge with a massmr of 0853 kgand a radiusR0 of 005m is detonated in the cylindrical domainwith a radius of 20R0 and a height of 50R0 as shown inFigure 3(a) A nondimensional distance r hereinafter is definedto describe the distance from the measuring points to the TNTcenter namely r RR0 where R is the detonation distanceDifferent distances of r 10minus 16 are chosen e transmittingboundary condition is set around the computational domain toreduce the nonphysical reflection In the present work we

adopt a two-dimensional axisymmetric model to simulate theprocess of free-field underwater explosion

e density of TNT is 1630 kgm3 and the detonationvelocity is 6930ms Besides the state equation of JonesndashWilkinsndashLee (JWL) hereinafter is used to simulate the TNTdetonation process and it can be written as equation (3)where P is the pressure produced by the explosive chargesVis the specific volume of detonation products over thespecific volume of undetonated explosives E is the specificinternal energy and A B R1 R2 and ω are material con-stants listed in Table 1 [25 44] e equation of state forwater hereinafter can be defined as equation (4) whereμ ρρ0 minus 1 in which ρ0 is the initial density of waterie ρ0 1 000 kgm3 e term e is the specific internalenergy for water A1 A2 A3 B0 B1 T1 and T2 are constantsdefined in the AUTODYN material library ese param-eters are listed in Table 2 [25 44]

e water and explosive are modeled by the Euleriansubgrid In order to test the convergence of the present CELmethod three mesh resolutions are used in the Eulerian part25mm 5mm and 10mm respectively An evenly parti-tioned grid is used e shock wave pressure versus time atr 10 is measured as shown in Figure 4 Clearly the resultof the mesh size 25mm shows a little difference comparedwith the result of the mesh size 5mm e convergence rateof three resolutions is calculated to be 195 using their peakpressure Generally if the convergence rate is over 1 then itmeans this numerical method can give better results [45] Inorder to reduce the computational cost the element size forthis free-field underwater explosion model is 5mm and thenumber of elements is about 100000

In fact during the shock wave propagating in multilayermedia the FSI process is involved In order to further test thereliability of the CEL method in dealing with FSI problemsan experiment (this experimental case and relevant data areprovided by the Institute of Fluid Physics China Academy ofEngineering Physics) is performed in a water tank with thesize of 2m times 2m times 2m e depth of water is 16m Asshown in Figure 6 the square test plate made from the mildsteel Q235 is fixed on the wall of the tank It has a length of08m and a thickness of 0003me cylindrical charge has asize of Φ 20mm times 18mm and thus the mass is 10 g echarge is placed in the water and its depth isD 08m eaxis of the charge is parallel with the plate and the distance R

e three-dimensional numerical model is establishedaccording to the layout of the experiment e water andTNTare also modeled by the Eulerian subgrid Note that theair in this numerical model can be ignored e steel ismodeled by the Lagrangian subgrid and its density is7830 kgm3 e JohnsonndashCook strength and fracture pa-rameters for the steel are listed in Tables 4 and 5 (found in[46]) e smallest element size of the Eulerian mesh is5mm and it is 15mm for the Lagrangian mesh e Eulerdomain consists of about 38 million cells and the La-grangian domain contains 570000 cells

e displacement and velocity time histories calculated bythe CEL method are compared with the experimental results inFigure 8 It is not hard to see from Figure 8 that they are in goodaccordance especially the displacement time histories ere-fore the CEL method can simulate the FSI process well and itcan predict accurately the shock wave propagation in thecomplex model

3 Results and Discussion

31 Numerical Model e two-dimensional axisymmetricnumerical model of a double-layer hemispherical shellsubjected to underwater explosion is established to in-vestigate the propagation characteristics of the shock wave inmultilayer media as plotted in Figure 9e outer shell has aradius of R1 and a thickness of d1 while the inner shell has aradius of R2 and a thickness of d2 e parameters related todistance are normalized by the charge radius R0 namelyR1 R1R0 20 d1 d1R0 R2 R2R0 17 d2 d2R0and r RR0 10minus16 e thickness of the outer shell ischanged to test the effects so d1 01minus08 are selected with aconstant of d2 04 e mass of the spherical TNT chargethe charge radius R0 and the size of the Eulerian domain arethe same as those of the free-field model in Section 23 emeasuring points 1 and 3 are located near the outside surfaceof the outer shell and the inner shell respectively emeasuring point 2 is located near the inside of the outershell and the distance from point 2 to the outer shell isd 02R0 e shell structure is fixed around the boundaryand the transmitting condition is enforced around the fluiddomain so as to overcome the nonphysical reflection eparameters related to time hereinafter are normalized by thetime decay constant θ when r 10 in equation (8)

Medium 1 and medium 2 are water or air e materialparameters of water and charge are the same as those in thefree-field model Air is modeled by the ideal gas equation ofstate which can be written as p ρρ0((cminus 1))e where thespecific heat ratio c is 14 the initial density of air ρ0 is1225 kgm3 and the specific energy e is 2534 kJm3 [25]e density of steel is 7830 kgm3 [25] Note that theJohnsonndashCook strength parameters listed in Table 6 [25] forthe steel are different from those of the experiment in Section23 e element size for the Eulerian part is also 5mm the

same as that of the free-field model and more than fourelements in the thickness direction are discretized for theLagrangian part us the Eulerian domain contains about100000 cells and the number of Lagrangian cells rangesfrom 4230 to 8940 due to different outer shell thicknesses

32 Shock Wave Propagation Process Figure 10 shows theshock wave propagation process for the case of media 1 and2 filled with water and air respectively at the detonationdistance r 10 Several typical instants during the processare presented Obviously they show a similar process afterthe charge detonation and a spherical shock wave prop-agates to the outer shell surface (Figure 10(a)) when thewave arrives at the outer shell whose other side is backed towater it is reflected and transmitted by the shell as plottedin Figure 10(b) (the left column) Accordingly when thewave arrives at the outer shell whose other side is backed toair there exists a rarefaction wave reflected which travelsbackwards in water Due to the much lower impedance ofthe air the transmitted wave is weaker than the reflectedwave erefore Figure 10(b) (the right column) cannotrecognize the transmitted wave in the air-backed casewhen the transmitted shock wave reaches the inner shellwhose other side is backed to water the shock wave isreflected and transmitted over the shell again inFigure 10(c) (the left column) Cavitation occurs near theouter shell in the air-backed case as shown in Figure 10(c)(the right column) Also the pressure of the reflected andtransmitted waves on the inner shell in the water-backedcase is obviously larger than that in the air-backed caseLater the wave reflected from the inner shell propagates tothe outer shell and then it is reflected and transmittedagain Due to the complex superposition of the incidentwave the reflected wave and the transmitted wave thepressure becomes very complicated (Figure 10(d) (the leftcolumn)) At the same time the cavitation region in the air-backed case is further expanding

On the whole because of the severe mismatch of theimpedance between different media the intensity of thetransmitted wave of the shells backed to water is larger thanthat of the shells backed to air and the cavitation region nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

is can be explained from the perspective of wavepropagations e first interface for the wave arrival is thesame for the two cases namely the interface between thewater and the outside of the outer shell erefore the re-flected wave pressure at this interface should be equal in bothcases However at the next interface the shock wave trans-mits from the inside of the outer shell to the water in case awhile from the inside to the air in case b Because the acousticimpedances of water and air are much lower than that of steelthere is a rarefaction wave reflected at this interface [47ndash51]erefore the intensity of the incident shock wave isunloaded Moreover the acoustic impedance of air is lowerthan that of water the unloading effect in case a is less seriousthan that in case b so the peak pressure of the reflected wavein case a is larger than that in case b e stiffness of the outershell however is improved with the increase of shell thick-ness Hence the intensity of the reflected wave in these twocases is gradually enhanced To sum up if the outer shellthickness d1 ge 04 the medium behind the outer shell willaffect the peak pressure of the reflected wave slightly

e reflection coefficient of shock wave pressure is de-fined as λr P1P0 where P1 is the peak pressure of thereflected wave at point 1 and P0 is the peak pressure at thesame distance in the free-field underwater explosion modelIn the present work if the detonation distance is far enoughthe numerical model can be regarded as a one-dimensionalmodel Based on Taylorrsquos assumptions [6] we can obtain

P1 P0 + Pr minus ρcv where Pr is the pressure of the reflectedwave and ρcv is the pressure of the rarefaction wave pro-duced by the motion of the structure ρ is the density ofwater c is the sound speed of water and v is the velocity ofthe outer shell If the perfect reflection of the incident waveoccurs [52 53] the pressure of the reflected wave would readPr P0 erefore P1 should satisfy P1 2P0 minus ρcv theo-retically And then the reflection coefficient holdsλr P1P0 2minus ρcvP0

Figure 12 illustrates the reflection coefficients of theshock wave varying with the thickness of the outer shell atthe distance r 10 Obviously the reflection coefficientsincrease with the increase of shell thickness but the trendgradually slows down for the two cases Moreover thecoefficients of the air-backed case are almost the same asthose of the water-backed case if d1 ge 04 e reflectioncoefficients exceed 1 no matter what the medium is filledwith at the back of the outer shell It means that thepresence of the outer shell enhances the peak pressure atpoint 1

If the thickness d1 04 the shock wave reflection co-efficients varying with the distance r in these two cases areplotted in Figure 13 e coefficients decrease with the in-crease of detonation distance as shown in Figure 13 erelationship between the reflection coefficients and thedetonation distance is approximately linear for these twocases In the present work we can recast the Zamyshlyayevempirical formula ie equation (6) as P0 k(1r)

α wherek and α are the ratio parameter and exponent parameterrespectively So a relation between the reflection coefficientλr and the distance r can be obtained asλr P1P0 2minus (ρcvk)rα As described in the literature[54] the rarefaction wave (ie ρcv) can be neglected at theearly stage of shock wave impinging on the absolutely rigidstructure For the elastic shell if we extract the velocities ofthe outer shell near point 1 from numerical results listed inTable 7 we can find these velocities are positive for thesecases So the rarefaction wave cannot be neglected In thiscase the reflection coefficient of peak pressure varying withthe distance r can be obtained from the numerical simu-lation as shown in Figure 13 One should notice that thedecreasing trend of the coefficient is only suitable for thecases of close distances (ie 10le rle 16)

e impulse reflection coefficient can be defined asIr I1I0 where I1 is the pressure impulse at point 1 and I0is the pressure impulse at the same distance in the free-fieldunderwater explosion model Figure 14 shows the impulsereflection coefficients varying with shell thickness in thewater-backed case and air-backed case at the detonationdistance r 10 e impulse reflection coefficients increasewith the increase of shell thickness and the tendency be-comes gradually slow If d1 lt 04 the impulse reflectioncoefficients of the air-backed case will be smaller than thoseof the water-backed case because the deformation of theouter shell in the air-backed case is more serious than that inthe water-backed case If the thickness d1 ge 04 the co-efficients of the air-backed case are larger than those of thewater-backed case Under this circumstance the de-formation of the outer shell is not the principal factor

influencing impulse since the stiffness of the outer shell ishigh enough e reason for this phenomenon is that theincident wave transmits over the outer shell in the water-backed case while the incident wave is mainly reflected inthe air-backed case because of the impedance differencebetween water and air

If the thickness d1 04 the impulse reflection co-efficients varying with different detonation distances in thesetwo cases are plotted in Figure 15 e coefficients ap-proximately decrease linearly with the increase of detonationdistance whatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air Itshould be noticed that Ir of the air-backed case changesfaster than that of the water-backed case and varies in a widerange which may be due to the fact that complex super-position of the wave system between the outer shell and the

inner shell affects seriously the pressure of point 1 aftert 709θ found in Figure 10

addition both the peaks decrease with the increase of theouter shell thickness It is worth noting that the reflectedpeak can be larger than the transmitted peak if d1 ge 06 Itindicates that the reflected wave produced by the innersurface of the outer shell plays a leading role under thiscircumstance

Media 1 and 2 are both air (noted as air-air) inFigure 16(c) while medium 1 is air and medium 2 is water(noted as air-water) in Figure 16(d) e peak pressures ofthe transmitted shock wave at point 2 are almost the same atthe same shell thickness for both the cases while they are

about 1330 times that of the water-water case It may be dueto the lower impedance of air which is about 15000 timesthat of the water If the shell thickness d1 02 in these twocases there are no values in pressure history curves when thetime exceeds 946θ which is due to the fact that the outershell after deformation is over the position of the measuringpoint 2 With the increase of the shell thickness the pressureattenuates gradually Different from the water-water case orwater-air case the second peak arrives later (at aboutt 1577θ) which may be due to the strong impedancemismatch Also the pressure time histories show no

differences for medium 2 filled with water or air behind theinner shell

As seen in Figures 16(a)ndash16(d) it can be found thatmedium 1 has a great influence on the pressure of thetransmitted wave On the contrary medium 2 behind theinner shell has few effects on the transmitted pressure

e transmission coefficient λt P2P0 can be defined asthe ratio of the peak pressure P2 of the transmitted wave atpoint 2 ie the first peak in Figure 16 to the peak pressureP0 of the incident shock wave in free field e transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave varying with different shellthicknesses are plotted in Figure 18 As described in theanalysis above medium 2 behind the inner shell has littleeffect on the peak pressure of the transmitted shock waveerefore the cases in which medium 2 is water whilemedium 1 is water or air are hereinafter taken for examplesWith the increase of the shell thickness the transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave decrease exponentially for thetwo cases Although the peak pressure P2 of the air-backedcase is much smaller than that of the water-backed case thetrend of transmission coefficients varying with different shellthicknesses is similar to that of the water-backed case

Taking the thickness d1 04 for example the curves ofthe transmission coefficients varying with different deto-nation distances can be plotted in Figure 19 Unlike

Figure 13 with the increase of the detonation distance thetransmission coefficients have a trend of increase by degreese difference may be because the peak pressure P2 is af-fected by the inner shell and the outer shell together whileP1 is mainly affected by the outer shell although the peakpressure P1 and P2 decrease as the detonation distanceincreases

e total energy released by the TNT is 2703 kJ att 75θ and the proportion of the energy absorbed by theouter shell accounting for the total energy is plotted inFigure 20 Because the TNTmass is quite small and the shellhas not been destroyed the energy absorbed by the outershell is less With the increase of shell thickness the energyabsorption proportion increases generally Another featureis that the proportion of the energy absorbed by the outershell can be up to 2 for the air-backed case while about 1for the water-backed case when the shell thickness d1 rangesfrom 01 to 08 For the same shell thickness the energyabsorption of the air-backed case is two to three times that ofthe water-backed case is may attribute to the largerdeformation of the shell in the air-backed case

Figure 21 shows the proportion of the energy transmittedover the outer shell versus different thicknesses etransmission energy gradually decreases with the increase ofshell thickness for the two cases For the same shell

thickness the transmission energy of the air-backed shell ismuch smaller than that of the water-backed shell whichcoincides with the above results in Figure 18 at is thetransmission coefficient λt of the air-backed case is muchsmaller than that of the water-backed case

Figure 22 shows the Mises stress contours of the outerand inner shells for the case of the outer shell thicknessd1 04 It can be seen that if medium 1 between the two

shells is air the maximum stress of the shell will be about 15times that of the water-backed shell and there are almost nostresses in the inner shell erefore it can be concluded thatif the medium is filled with air between two shells the innershell is prevented from serious impact

the relationship between the reflection and transmission ofthe shock wave the ratios λ1 (P1 minusP0)P2 of the peakpressure of the reflected shock wave to that of the trans-mitted shock wave are plotted in Figure 23 e peakpressure of the reflected shock wave is the difference betweenthe measured pressure P1 near the surface of the outer shelland the incident pressure P0 in free field

Obviously with the increase of the thickness no matterwhat the outer shell is backed to the ratios increase and tendto be slow when the thickness exceeds to some extents for theair-backed case e reason for this phenomenon is that thepeak pressure P2 of the transmission wave decreases dras-tically with the increase of shell thickness (Figures 16 and18) Another feature is that the ratios of the shell backed toair are much larger than those of the shell backed to waterat is the reflection proportion is dominant for the air-backed case is can be explained by the fact which can befound in Section 34 that the peak pressure P2 of the air-backed case is smaller than that of the water-backed case fortwo orders of magnitude

Figure 24 shows the peak pressure ratios λ2 P3P1 atthe measuring points 1 and 3 versus different outer shellthicknesses Generally the ratios decrease with the increaseof the shell thickness no matter what media 1 and 2 are filledwith It indicates the reflection proportion increase as theshell thickens In addition the ratios of the water-backedcases (water-water case and water-air case) are obviouslylarger than those of the air-backed cases (air-air case and air-water case) which almost coincide with each other eseaccord well with the analysis in Sections 33 and 34

After the directive wave propagating over the outer shellthe transmitted wave arrives at the inner shell which can beregarded as a directive wave producing a new charge ie theequivalent charge mass me at is to say the effect of thetransmitted wave on the inner shell is to some extentequivalent to that of a new charge on the inner shell Withthe aid of the analysis in Section 33 me can be transformedfrom a free-field component of incident peak pressure on theinner shell namely P4 P3λr by Zamyshlyayev empiricalformula (6)

Table 8 presents the ratios of the equivalent charge massme to the actual charge mass mr e cases of the mediumbetween the two shells filled with water are considered andair-backed cases are absent because P3 is too small As thetable shows the equivalent charge mass for the inner shellcan be decreased about 75 if the outer shell thickness isover 02 times the charge radius With the increasingthickness the equivalent charge mass decreases sharply

e relationships among the incident reflected and trans-mitted waves are discussed

emedium between two hemispherical shells will affectthe peak pressure of the reflected wave generated by theouter shell slightly if the outer shell thickness is thicker thana certain level (here it is over 04 times the charge radius)e reflection coefficients of peak pressure and impulseincrease with the increase of shell thickness and decreaselinearly with the increase of detonation distance Besides thecavitation area caused by the reflected rarefaction wave nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

When the wave transmits over the outer shell a peakpressure called the transmitted peak occurs whatever themedium behind the outer shell is water or air It is worthmentioning that a second peak which is relatively comparedto the transmitted peak can be produced by the reflections ofthe inner shell and it will be larger than the transmitted peakif the outer shell thickness reaches a certain extent (here it isover 06 times the charge radius) for the water-water andwater-air casesemedium between the two shells has great

influences on the transmitted wave while the medium be-hind the inner shell has slight effects on the transmittedwave With the increase of the shell thickness the trans-mission coefficients of the shock wave decrease exponen-tially and increase linearly with the detonation distancewhatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air

For the same outer shell thickness the energy absorptionof the air-backed case is about two to three times that of thewater-backed case With the increasing thickness theequivalent charge mass decreases drastically e equivalentcharge mass for the inner shell can be decreased about 75 ifthe outer shell thickness is over 02 times the charge radius

medium caused by the medium deformation is negligibleRecently Chen et al [8] applied one-dimensional cavitationtheory and section-varying bar theory to discuss the propa-gation characteristics of stress waves in simple plates andstiffened plates (T profiles and I profiles) Considering thecavitation effect the pressure and impulse on the wettedsurface are predicted accurately by analytical solution eyfound that obviously pressure drops and oscillations occur onthe wetted surface in the stiffened plates model due to thesuperposition of the reflected wave from the structure and theincident wave compared to the simple plate model Howeverthis analytical model is limited to the one-dimensional system

Valuable researches on pressure characteristics of theshock wave in structures using numerical simulation havealso been conducted Otsuka et al [9] utilized LS-DYNA3D an analysis code using the arbitraryLagrangianndashEulerian approach to simulate the propaga-tion process of the explosion shock waves produced by thetwo modes of detonation (a detonation cord and anemulsion explosive) in the three layers of air water andstructure ey found that as the air layer becomes thickthe peak pressure decreases in the water However theimpulse remains unchanged since the duration of pressureis increased by the effect of a reflected wave Yet theirsimulation lacks a comparative study between the differentmaterial layers Desceliers et al [10] presented a newnumerical hybrid method dedicated to the simulation ofthe transient elastic wave propagation in multilayer un-bounded media which can be fluid or solid subjected togiven transient loadsis method can capture clearly someprofiles of the elastic waves including reflected wavestransmitted waves and refracted surface waves However itis restricted to simple geometrical structures Wang et al[11] used the coupled EulerianndashLagrangian (CEL) methodin AUTODYN to investigate the shock wave propagationcharacteristics near the air-backed plate and water-backedplate ey found that two pressure peaks occurred in thesetwo numerical models where the first peak is generated bythe incident wave and the second peak is induced by thereflected wave from the plate due to the impedance of thewater being lower than that of the plate But in that workthey did not apply the CELmethod to multilayer structuresWu et al [12] investigated the protection effects of amitigation layer on the structure exerted by an underwaterexplosion with the help of the Mie-Greurouneisen mixturemodel and discussed the affections of the layer material(steel neoprene and polyethylene) layer thickness andexplosive-structure distance on protection effects eyconcluded that the acoustic impedance of the mitigationlayer plays an important role in determining not only theproperty of shock loads but also the occurrence of pro-tection effects of the mitigation layer while the layerthickness and explosive-structure distance have a littleeffect on the main shock loads Nevertheless the loads ofthe inner shock wave in the mitigation layer are their mainconcern In addition other scholars mainly focus onstructural response and damage characteristics [13ndash21] Ina word theoretical research based on certain assumptionsis suitable for a structure with a simple geometry while

numerical simulation is easier to implement to deal withshock wave propagation problems in complex structures

Owing to the presence of complex superposition ofmultiple waves geometry with curvature moving interfaceand large plastic deformation traditional theoretical re-search comes across many difficulties in solving shock wavepropagation characteristics in multilayer structures In orderto tackle these problems the CEL method in AUTODYN isadopted to study the propagation characteristics of the shockwave in the multilayer structures during underwater ex-plosion in the present worke shell thickness and the filledmedium between the double shells are focused and theirinfluences on the propagation of the shock wave are ana-lyzed e relationships among the incident the reflectedand the transmitted shock waves are discussed

2 Theoretical Background

21 Coupled Eulerian and Lagrangian Method Actually theprocess of underwater explosion near structures is a com-plicated fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem [22 23]Two sorts of methods are usually used to solve this problemnamely the Lagrangianmethod and Eulerianmethod [11 24]Both of them have their own advantages and limitations eLagrangian method is suitable for describing the stress strainand deformation of the structure However when encoun-tering large deformation problems the Lagrangian mesh isseverely distorted which leads to adverse effects on calcu-lation Conversely the Eulerian method can deal with largedeformation problems and some flow problems But itcannot track accurately material interfaces erefore acoupled EulerianndashLagrangian (CEL) analysis method whichcombines the advantages of these two methods is introducedto tackle FSI problems e structure part is solved by theLagrangian method while the fluid part is solved by theEulerian methode FSI between the two parts is carried outat the interface [11 25]is approach has beenmade possiblein some hydrocodes eg AUTODYN [25] and ABAQUS[26] Specifically in the Lagrangian method based on thefinite difference scheme the material is attached to the meshelement which deforms with the flow of the material and themass of the element remains constant [25] In the Lagrangiansolver given the node position x (x y z) the node velocityu the element density ρ the element volume V the internalenergy e and the governing equations are as follows[25 27 28]

where ρ0 V0 m and σ are the initial density initial volumemass and total stress tensor respectivelye stress tensor isseparated into a hydrostatic component and a deviatoriccomponent which can be referred from the study in [29]

2 Shock and Vibration

A series of calculations in a Lagrangian subgrid are shownschematically in Figure 1 (the left column) A detailed de-scription about this process can be referred from the study in[25 30ndash32]

In the Eulerian solver assuming that the fluid is inviscidthe explosion process is adiabatic and the body force isneglected [27 28 33 34] e governing equations can bewritten as follows [35 36]

zρzt+ nabla middot (ρu) 0

z(ρu)zt

+ nabla middot (ρEu) minusnabla middot (Pu)

(2)

where ρ is the density u is the velocity E is the total energyP is the pressure ρu is the mass flux ρuu is the momentumflux and ρEu is the energy flux

In fact the Eulerian method contains two steps to ac-count for both the changes in the element solution caused bythe source and the transport of the material through themesh More details can be found in [32 37ndash39]

Besides the calculation process of the Eulerian solver isshown in Figure 1 (the right column) ere are also manycomplicated works that need to be accomplished includingthe calculation of intersection points intersecting linescommon areas surface area and three-dimensional volumeese detail descriptions can be found in [40ndash43]

22 Treatments of Fluid-Structure Interface e interactionbetween the structure and fluid is performed at the couplingsurface At the interface the structure described by theLagrangian view is regarded as the geometric and velocityboundary for the fluid Conversely the fluid is regarded asthe pressure boundary for the structure [25 32 37]

For the Lagrangian structure element the position xvelocity u force F and massm are defined at the node whilethe stress σ strain ε pressure P energy e and density ρ aredefined at the center of the element For the Eulerian fluidelement all variables are defined at the center of the elementexcept the position x (Figures 2(a) and 2(b)) is definitionmode facilitates the coupling between the Lagrangianstructure and the Eulerian fluid [25]

23 Numerical Validation Firstly the free-field underwaterexplosion model is established to validate the feasibility of theCELmethod inAUTODYN [25] for simulating the shockwavepressure e spherical TNTcharge with a massmr of 0853 kgand a radiusR0 of 005m is detonated in the cylindrical domainwith a radius of 20R0 and a height of 50R0 as shown inFigure 3(a) A nondimensional distance r hereinafter is definedto describe the distance from the measuring points to the TNTcenter namely r RR0 where R is the detonation distanceDifferent distances of r 10minus 16 are chosen e transmittingboundary condition is set around the computational domain toreduce the nonphysical reflection In the present work we

adopt a two-dimensional axisymmetric model to simulate theprocess of free-field underwater explosion

e density of TNT is 1630 kgm3 and the detonationvelocity is 6930ms Besides the state equation of JonesndashWilkinsndashLee (JWL) hereinafter is used to simulate the TNTdetonation process and it can be written as equation (3)where P is the pressure produced by the explosive chargesVis the specific volume of detonation products over thespecific volume of undetonated explosives E is the specificinternal energy and A B R1 R2 and ω are material con-stants listed in Table 1 [25 44] e equation of state forwater hereinafter can be defined as equation (4) whereμ ρρ0 minus 1 in which ρ0 is the initial density of waterie ρ0 1 000 kgm3 e term e is the specific internalenergy for water A1 A2 A3 B0 B1 T1 and T2 are constantsdefined in the AUTODYN material library ese param-eters are listed in Table 2 [25 44]

e water and explosive are modeled by the Euleriansubgrid In order to test the convergence of the present CELmethod three mesh resolutions are used in the Eulerian part25mm 5mm and 10mm respectively An evenly parti-tioned grid is used e shock wave pressure versus time atr 10 is measured as shown in Figure 4 Clearly the resultof the mesh size 25mm shows a little difference comparedwith the result of the mesh size 5mm e convergence rateof three resolutions is calculated to be 195 using their peakpressure Generally if the convergence rate is over 1 then itmeans this numerical method can give better results [45] Inorder to reduce the computational cost the element size forthis free-field underwater explosion model is 5mm and thenumber of elements is about 100000

the transmitting boundary condition as shown inFigure 3(c)e time histories of the pressure at r 10 andr 13 obtained from CEL and Zamyshlyayev empiricalformulas [3] are compared in Figure 5 It reveals that theyaccord with each other If one defines the relative error ofthe peak pressure between the numerical P0 and theZamyshlyayev results P as ε |P0 minusP|P the values can belisted in Table 3 We can find that the relative errors arewithin 10 Although there are some oscillations causedby the strong discontinuity of the shock wave in thenumerical results the whole attenuation process and peakpressure values are in good agreement with the empiricalformula

In fact during the shock wave propagating in multilayermedia the FSI process is involved In order to further test thereliability of the CEL method in dealing with FSI problemsan experiment (this experimental case and relevant data areprovided by the Institute of Fluid Physics China Academy ofEngineering Physics) is performed in a water tank with thesize of 2m times 2m times 2m e depth of water is 16m Asshown in Figure 6 the square test plate made from the mildsteel Q235 is fixed on the wall of the tank It has a length of08m and a thickness of 0003me cylindrical charge has asize of Φ 20mm times 18mm and thus the mass is 10 g echarge is placed in the water and its depth isD 08m eaxis of the charge is parallel with the plate and the distance R

e three-dimensional numerical model is establishedaccording to the layout of the experiment e water andTNTare also modeled by the Eulerian subgrid Note that theair in this numerical model can be ignored e steel ismodeled by the Lagrangian subgrid and its density is7830 kgm3 e JohnsonndashCook strength and fracture pa-rameters for the steel are listed in Tables 4 and 5 (found in[46]) e smallest element size of the Eulerian mesh is5mm and it is 15mm for the Lagrangian mesh e Eulerdomain consists of about 38 million cells and the La-grangian domain contains 570000 cells

e displacement and velocity time histories calculated bythe CEL method are compared with the experimental results inFigure 8 It is not hard to see from Figure 8 that they are in goodaccordance especially the displacement time histories ere-fore the CEL method can simulate the FSI process well and itcan predict accurately the shock wave propagation in thecomplex model

31 Numerical Model e two-dimensional axisymmetricnumerical model of a double-layer hemispherical shellsubjected to underwater explosion is established to in-vestigate the propagation characteristics of the shock wave inmultilayer media as plotted in Figure 9e outer shell has aradius of R1 and a thickness of d1 while the inner shell has aradius of R2 and a thickness of d2 e parameters related todistance are normalized by the charge radius R0 namelyR1 R1R0 20 d1 d1R0 R2 R2R0 17 d2 d2R0and r RR0 10minus16 e thickness of the outer shell ischanged to test the effects so d1 01minus08 are selected with aconstant of d2 04 e mass of the spherical TNT chargethe charge radius R0 and the size of the Eulerian domain arethe same as those of the free-field model in Section 23 emeasuring points 1 and 3 are located near the outside surfaceof the outer shell and the inner shell respectively emeasuring point 2 is located near the inside of the outershell and the distance from point 2 to the outer shell isd 02R0 e shell structure is fixed around the boundaryand the transmitting condition is enforced around the fluiddomain so as to overcome the nonphysical reflection eparameters related to time hereinafter are normalized by thetime decay constant θ when r 10 in equation (8)

Medium 1 and medium 2 are water or air e materialparameters of water and charge are the same as those in thefree-field model Air is modeled by the ideal gas equation ofstate which can be written as p ρρ0((cminus 1))e where thespecific heat ratio c is 14 the initial density of air ρ0 is1225 kgm3 and the specific energy e is 2534 kJm3 [25]e density of steel is 7830 kgm3 [25] Note that theJohnsonndashCook strength parameters listed in Table 6 [25] forthe steel are different from those of the experiment in Section23 e element size for the Eulerian part is also 5mm the

same as that of the free-field model and more than fourelements in the thickness direction are discretized for theLagrangian part us the Eulerian domain contains about100000 cells and the number of Lagrangian cells rangesfrom 4230 to 8940 due to different outer shell thicknesses

32 Shock Wave Propagation Process Figure 10 shows theshock wave propagation process for the case of media 1 and2 filled with water and air respectively at the detonationdistance r 10 Several typical instants during the processare presented Obviously they show a similar process afterthe charge detonation and a spherical shock wave prop-agates to the outer shell surface (Figure 10(a)) when thewave arrives at the outer shell whose other side is backed towater it is reflected and transmitted by the shell as plottedin Figure 10(b) (the left column) Accordingly when thewave arrives at the outer shell whose other side is backed toair there exists a rarefaction wave reflected which travelsbackwards in water Due to the much lower impedance ofthe air the transmitted wave is weaker than the reflectedwave erefore Figure 10(b) (the right column) cannotrecognize the transmitted wave in the air-backed casewhen the transmitted shock wave reaches the inner shellwhose other side is backed to water the shock wave isreflected and transmitted over the shell again inFigure 10(c) (the left column) Cavitation occurs near theouter shell in the air-backed case as shown in Figure 10(c)(the right column) Also the pressure of the reflected andtransmitted waves on the inner shell in the water-backedcase is obviously larger than that in the air-backed caseLater the wave reflected from the inner shell propagates tothe outer shell and then it is reflected and transmittedagain Due to the complex superposition of the incidentwave the reflected wave and the transmitted wave thepressure becomes very complicated (Figure 10(d) (the leftcolumn)) At the same time the cavitation region in the air-backed case is further expanding

On the whole because of the severe mismatch of theimpedance between different media the intensity of thetransmitted wave of the shells backed to water is larger thanthat of the shells backed to air and the cavitation region nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

33 ShockWaveReflection Figure 11 shows the time historyof the shock wave pressure at point 1 e outer shell isbacked to water in case a and to air in case b Meanwhiledifferent thicknesses of the outer shell are also taken intoaccount and the detonation distance r is 10 Note thatmedium 2 behind the inner shell has a little effect on thereflected pressure near the outer shell As the results show ifd1 gt 04 with the increase of the outer shell thickness thepressure of the reflected wave tends to be steady in bothcases By comparing the above two cases it can be seen thatthe peak pressure of the reflected wave caused by the water-backed shell is larger than that of the air-backed case but thelatter tends to be consistent with the former in value ifd1 ge 04 What is more the pressure fluctuates more vio-lently for the air-backed case

is can be explained from the perspective of wavepropagations e first interface for the wave arrival is thesame for the two cases namely the interface between thewater and the outside of the outer shell erefore the re-flected wave pressure at this interface should be equal in bothcases However at the next interface the shock wave trans-mits from the inside of the outer shell to the water in case awhile from the inside to the air in case b Because the acousticimpedances of water and air are much lower than that of steelthere is a rarefaction wave reflected at this interface [47ndash51]erefore the intensity of the incident shock wave isunloaded Moreover the acoustic impedance of air is lowerthan that of water the unloading effect in case a is less seriousthan that in case b so the peak pressure of the reflected wavein case a is larger than that in case b e stiffness of the outershell however is improved with the increase of shell thick-ness Hence the intensity of the reflected wave in these twocases is gradually enhanced To sum up if the outer shellthickness d1 ge 04 the medium behind the outer shell willaffect the peak pressure of the reflected wave slightly

e reflection coefficient of shock wave pressure is de-fined as λr P1P0 where P1 is the peak pressure of thereflected wave at point 1 and P0 is the peak pressure at thesame distance in the free-field underwater explosion modelIn the present work if the detonation distance is far enoughthe numerical model can be regarded as a one-dimensionalmodel Based on Taylorrsquos assumptions [6] we can obtain

P1 P0 + Pr minus ρcv where Pr is the pressure of the reflectedwave and ρcv is the pressure of the rarefaction wave pro-duced by the motion of the structure ρ is the density ofwater c is the sound speed of water and v is the velocity ofthe outer shell If the perfect reflection of the incident waveoccurs [52 53] the pressure of the reflected wave would readPr P0 erefore P1 should satisfy P1 2P0 minus ρcv theo-retically And then the reflection coefficient holdsλr P1P0 2minus ρcvP0

Figure 12 illustrates the reflection coefficients of theshock wave varying with the thickness of the outer shell atthe distance r 10 Obviously the reflection coefficientsincrease with the increase of shell thickness but the trendgradually slows down for the two cases Moreover thecoefficients of the air-backed case are almost the same asthose of the water-backed case if d1 ge 04 e reflectioncoefficients exceed 1 no matter what the medium is filledwith at the back of the outer shell It means that thepresence of the outer shell enhances the peak pressure atpoint 1

If the thickness d1 04 the shock wave reflection co-efficients varying with the distance r in these two cases areplotted in Figure 13 e coefficients decrease with the in-crease of detonation distance as shown in Figure 13 erelationship between the reflection coefficients and thedetonation distance is approximately linear for these twocases In the present work we can recast the Zamyshlyayevempirical formula ie equation (6) as P0 k(1r)

α wherek and α are the ratio parameter and exponent parameterrespectively So a relation between the reflection coefficientλr and the distance r can be obtained asλr P1P0 2minus (ρcvk)rα As described in the literature[54] the rarefaction wave (ie ρcv) can be neglected at theearly stage of shock wave impinging on the absolutely rigidstructure For the elastic shell if we extract the velocities ofthe outer shell near point 1 from numerical results listed inTable 7 we can find these velocities are positive for thesecases So the rarefaction wave cannot be neglected In thiscase the reflection coefficient of peak pressure varying withthe distance r can be obtained from the numerical simu-lation as shown in Figure 13 One should notice that thedecreasing trend of the coefficient is only suitable for thecases of close distances (ie 10le rle 16)

e impulse reflection coefficient can be defined asIr I1I0 where I1 is the pressure impulse at point 1 and I0is the pressure impulse at the same distance in the free-fieldunderwater explosion model Figure 14 shows the impulsereflection coefficients varying with shell thickness in thewater-backed case and air-backed case at the detonationdistance r 10 e impulse reflection coefficients increasewith the increase of shell thickness and the tendency be-comes gradually slow If d1 lt 04 the impulse reflectioncoefficients of the air-backed case will be smaller than thoseof the water-backed case because the deformation of theouter shell in the air-backed case is more serious than that inthe water-backed case If the thickness d1 ge 04 the co-efficients of the air-backed case are larger than those of thewater-backed case Under this circumstance the de-formation of the outer shell is not the principal factor

influencing impulse since the stiffness of the outer shell ishigh enough e reason for this phenomenon is that theincident wave transmits over the outer shell in the water-backed case while the incident wave is mainly reflected inthe air-backed case because of the impedance differencebetween water and air

If the thickness d1 04 the impulse reflection co-efficients varying with different detonation distances in thesetwo cases are plotted in Figure 15 e coefficients ap-proximately decrease linearly with the increase of detonationdistance whatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air Itshould be noticed that Ir of the air-backed case changesfaster than that of the water-backed case and varies in a widerange which may be due to the fact that complex super-position of the wave system between the outer shell and the

inner shell affects seriously the pressure of point 1 aftert 709θ found in Figure 10

outer shell a peak pressure called the transmitted peakoccurs in these two cases and then it attenuates quicklyWith the attenuation of the pressure the waves reflected bythe outer and inner surfaces of the inner shell reach point 2at about t 630θ as shown in Figure 17 Owing to thesuperposition of the transmitted wave and the reflectedwave it causes the pressure to rise and generates a secondpeak pressure called the reflected peak which might have asecond impact on the shell (Figures 16(a) and 16(b)) In

addition both the peaks decrease with the increase of theouter shell thickness It is worth noting that the reflectedpeak can be larger than the transmitted peak if d1 ge 06 Itindicates that the reflected wave produced by the innersurface of the outer shell plays a leading role under thiscircumstance

Media 1 and 2 are both air (noted as air-air) inFigure 16(c) while medium 1 is air and medium 2 is water(noted as air-water) in Figure 16(d) e peak pressures ofthe transmitted shock wave at point 2 are almost the same atthe same shell thickness for both the cases while they are

about 1330 times that of the water-water case It may be dueto the lower impedance of air which is about 15000 timesthat of the water If the shell thickness d1 02 in these twocases there are no values in pressure history curves when thetime exceeds 946θ which is due to the fact that the outershell after deformation is over the position of the measuringpoint 2 With the increase of the shell thickness the pressureattenuates gradually Different from the water-water case orwater-air case the second peak arrives later (at aboutt 1577θ) which may be due to the strong impedancemismatch Also the pressure time histories show no

differences for medium 2 filled with water or air behind theinner shell

As seen in Figures 16(a)ndash16(d) it can be found thatmedium 1 has a great influence on the pressure of thetransmitted wave On the contrary medium 2 behind theinner shell has few effects on the transmitted pressure

e transmission coefficient λt P2P0 can be defined asthe ratio of the peak pressure P2 of the transmitted wave atpoint 2 ie the first peak in Figure 16 to the peak pressureP0 of the incident shock wave in free field e transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave varying with different shellthicknesses are plotted in Figure 18 As described in theanalysis above medium 2 behind the inner shell has littleeffect on the peak pressure of the transmitted shock waveerefore the cases in which medium 2 is water whilemedium 1 is water or air are hereinafter taken for examplesWith the increase of the shell thickness the transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave decrease exponentially for thetwo cases Although the peak pressure P2 of the air-backedcase is much smaller than that of the water-backed case thetrend of transmission coefficients varying with different shellthicknesses is similar to that of the water-backed case

Taking the thickness d1 04 for example the curves ofthe transmission coefficients varying with different deto-nation distances can be plotted in Figure 19 Unlike

Figure 13 with the increase of the detonation distance thetransmission coefficients have a trend of increase by degreese difference may be because the peak pressure P2 is af-fected by the inner shell and the outer shell together whileP1 is mainly affected by the outer shell although the peakpressure P1 and P2 decrease as the detonation distanceincreases

e total energy released by the TNT is 2703 kJ att 75θ and the proportion of the energy absorbed by theouter shell accounting for the total energy is plotted inFigure 20 Because the TNTmass is quite small and the shellhas not been destroyed the energy absorbed by the outershell is less With the increase of shell thickness the energyabsorption proportion increases generally Another featureis that the proportion of the energy absorbed by the outershell can be up to 2 for the air-backed case while about 1for the water-backed case when the shell thickness d1 rangesfrom 01 to 08 For the same shell thickness the energyabsorption of the air-backed case is two to three times that ofthe water-backed case is may attribute to the largerdeformation of the shell in the air-backed case

Figure 21 shows the proportion of the energy transmittedover the outer shell versus different thicknesses etransmission energy gradually decreases with the increase ofshell thickness for the two cases For the same shell

thickness the transmission energy of the air-backed shell ismuch smaller than that of the water-backed shell whichcoincides with the above results in Figure 18 at is thetransmission coefficient λt of the air-backed case is muchsmaller than that of the water-backed case

Figure 22 shows the Mises stress contours of the outerand inner shells for the case of the outer shell thicknessd1 04 It can be seen that if medium 1 between the two

shells is air the maximum stress of the shell will be about 15times that of the water-backed shell and there are almost nostresses in the inner shell erefore it can be concluded thatif the medium is filled with air between two shells the innershell is prevented from serious impact

the relationship between the reflection and transmission ofthe shock wave the ratios λ1 (P1 minusP0)P2 of the peakpressure of the reflected shock wave to that of the trans-mitted shock wave are plotted in Figure 23 e peakpressure of the reflected shock wave is the difference betweenthe measured pressure P1 near the surface of the outer shelland the incident pressure P0 in free field

Obviously with the increase of the thickness no matterwhat the outer shell is backed to the ratios increase and tendto be slow when the thickness exceeds to some extents for theair-backed case e reason for this phenomenon is that thepeak pressure P2 of the transmission wave decreases dras-tically with the increase of shell thickness (Figures 16 and18) Another feature is that the ratios of the shell backed toair are much larger than those of the shell backed to waterat is the reflection proportion is dominant for the air-backed case is can be explained by the fact which can befound in Section 34 that the peak pressure P2 of the air-backed case is smaller than that of the water-backed case fortwo orders of magnitude

Figure 24 shows the peak pressure ratios λ2 P3P1 atthe measuring points 1 and 3 versus different outer shellthicknesses Generally the ratios decrease with the increaseof the shell thickness no matter what media 1 and 2 are filledwith It indicates the reflection proportion increase as theshell thickens In addition the ratios of the water-backedcases (water-water case and water-air case) are obviouslylarger than those of the air-backed cases (air-air case and air-water case) which almost coincide with each other eseaccord well with the analysis in Sections 33 and 34

After the directive wave propagating over the outer shellthe transmitted wave arrives at the inner shell which can beregarded as a directive wave producing a new charge ie theequivalent charge mass me at is to say the effect of thetransmitted wave on the inner shell is to some extentequivalent to that of a new charge on the inner shell Withthe aid of the analysis in Section 33 me can be transformedfrom a free-field component of incident peak pressure on theinner shell namely P4 P3λr by Zamyshlyayev empiricalformula (6)

Table 8 presents the ratios of the equivalent charge massme to the actual charge mass mr e cases of the mediumbetween the two shells filled with water are considered andair-backed cases are absent because P3 is too small As thetable shows the equivalent charge mass for the inner shellcan be decreased about 75 if the outer shell thickness isover 02 times the charge radius With the increasingthickness the equivalent charge mass decreases sharply

emedium between two hemispherical shells will affectthe peak pressure of the reflected wave generated by theouter shell slightly if the outer shell thickness is thicker thana certain level (here it is over 04 times the charge radius)e reflection coefficients of peak pressure and impulseincrease with the increase of shell thickness and decreaselinearly with the increase of detonation distance Besides thecavitation area caused by the reflected rarefaction wave nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

When the wave transmits over the outer shell a peakpressure called the transmitted peak occurs whatever themedium behind the outer shell is water or air It is worthmentioning that a second peak which is relatively comparedto the transmitted peak can be produced by the reflections ofthe inner shell and it will be larger than the transmitted peakif the outer shell thickness reaches a certain extent (here it isover 06 times the charge radius) for the water-water andwater-air casesemedium between the two shells has great

influences on the transmitted wave while the medium be-hind the inner shell has slight effects on the transmittedwave With the increase of the shell thickness the trans-mission coefficients of the shock wave decrease exponen-tially and increase linearly with the detonation distancewhatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air

For the same outer shell thickness the energy absorptionof the air-backed case is about two to three times that of thewater-backed case With the increasing thickness theequivalent charge mass decreases drastically e equivalentcharge mass for the inner shell can be decreased about 75 ifthe outer shell thickness is over 02 times the charge radius

A series of calculations in a Lagrangian subgrid are shownschematically in Figure 1 (the left column) A detailed de-scription about this process can be referred from the study in[25 30ndash32]

In the Eulerian solver assuming that the fluid is inviscidthe explosion process is adiabatic and the body force isneglected [27 28 33 34] e governing equations can bewritten as follows [35 36]

zρzt+ nabla middot (ρu) 0

z(ρu)zt

+ nabla middot (ρuu) minusnablaP

z(ρE)zt

+ nabla middot (ρEu) minusnabla middot (Pu)

(2)

where ρ is the density u is the velocity E is the total energyP is the pressure ρu is the mass flux ρuu is the momentumflux and ρEu is the energy flux

In fact the Eulerian method contains two steps to ac-count for both the changes in the element solution caused bythe source and the transport of the material through themesh More details can be found in [32 37ndash39]

Besides the calculation process of the Eulerian solver isshown in Figure 1 (the right column) ere are also manycomplicated works that need to be accomplished includingthe calculation of intersection points intersecting linescommon areas surface area and three-dimensional volumeese detail descriptions can be found in [40ndash43]

22 Treatments of Fluid-Structure Interface e interactionbetween the structure and fluid is performed at the couplingsurface At the interface the structure described by theLagrangian view is regarded as the geometric and velocityboundary for the fluid Conversely the fluid is regarded asthe pressure boundary for the structure [25 32 37]

For the Lagrangian structure element the position xvelocity u force F and massm are defined at the node whilethe stress σ strain ε pressure P energy e and density ρ aredefined at the center of the element For the Eulerian fluidelement all variables are defined at the center of the elementexcept the position x (Figures 2(a) and 2(b)) is definitionmode facilitates the coupling between the Lagrangianstructure and the Eulerian fluid [25]

23 Numerical Validation Firstly the free-field underwaterexplosion model is established to validate the feasibility of theCELmethod inAUTODYN [25] for simulating the shockwavepressure e spherical TNTcharge with a massmr of 0853 kgand a radiusR0 of 005m is detonated in the cylindrical domainwith a radius of 20R0 and a height of 50R0 as shown inFigure 3(a) A nondimensional distance r hereinafter is definedto describe the distance from the measuring points to the TNTcenter namely r RR0 where R is the detonation distanceDifferent distances of r 10minus 16 are chosen e transmittingboundary condition is set around the computational domain toreduce the nonphysical reflection In the present work we

adopt a two-dimensional axisymmetric model to simulate theprocess of free-field underwater explosion

e density of TNT is 1630 kgm3 and the detonationvelocity is 6930ms Besides the state equation of JonesndashWilkinsndashLee (JWL) hereinafter is used to simulate the TNTdetonation process and it can be written as equation (3)where P is the pressure produced by the explosive chargesVis the specific volume of detonation products over thespecific volume of undetonated explosives E is the specificinternal energy and A B R1 R2 and ω are material con-stants listed in Table 1 [25 44] e equation of state forwater hereinafter can be defined as equation (4) whereμ ρρ0 minus 1 in which ρ0 is the initial density of waterie ρ0 1 000 kgm3 e term e is the specific internalenergy for water A1 A2 A3 B0 B1 T1 and T2 are constantsdefined in the AUTODYN material library ese param-eters are listed in Table 2 [25 44]

e water and explosive are modeled by the Euleriansubgrid In order to test the convergence of the present CELmethod three mesh resolutions are used in the Eulerian part25mm 5mm and 10mm respectively An evenly parti-tioned grid is used e shock wave pressure versus time atr 10 is measured as shown in Figure 4 Clearly the resultof the mesh size 25mm shows a little difference comparedwith the result of the mesh size 5mm e convergence rateof three resolutions is calculated to be 195 using their peakpressure Generally if the convergence rate is over 1 then itmeans this numerical method can give better results [45] Inorder to reduce the computational cost the element size forthis free-field underwater explosion model is 5mm and thenumber of elements is about 100000

the transmitting boundary condition as shown inFigure 3(c)e time histories of the pressure at r 10 andr 13 obtained from CEL and Zamyshlyayev empiricalformulas [3] are compared in Figure 5 It reveals that theyaccord with each other If one defines the relative error ofthe peak pressure between the numerical P0 and theZamyshlyayev results P as ε |P0 minusP|P the values can belisted in Table 3 We can find that the relative errors arewithin 10 Although there are some oscillations causedby the strong discontinuity of the shock wave in thenumerical results the whole attenuation process and peakpressure values are in good agreement with the empiricalformula

In fact during the shock wave propagating in multilayermedia the FSI process is involved In order to further test thereliability of the CEL method in dealing with FSI problemsan experiment (this experimental case and relevant data areprovided by the Institute of Fluid Physics China Academy ofEngineering Physics) is performed in a water tank with thesize of 2m times 2m times 2m e depth of water is 16m Asshown in Figure 6 the square test plate made from the mildsteel Q235 is fixed on the wall of the tank It has a length of08m and a thickness of 0003me cylindrical charge has asize of Φ 20mm times 18mm and thus the mass is 10 g echarge is placed in the water and its depth isD 08m eaxis of the charge is parallel with the plate and the distance R

e three-dimensional numerical model is establishedaccording to the layout of the experiment e water andTNTare also modeled by the Eulerian subgrid Note that theair in this numerical model can be ignored e steel ismodeled by the Lagrangian subgrid and its density is7830 kgm3 e JohnsonndashCook strength and fracture pa-rameters for the steel are listed in Tables 4 and 5 (found in[46]) e smallest element size of the Eulerian mesh is5mm and it is 15mm for the Lagrangian mesh e Eulerdomain consists of about 38 million cells and the La-grangian domain contains 570000 cells

e displacement and velocity time histories calculated bythe CEL method are compared with the experimental results inFigure 8 It is not hard to see from Figure 8 that they are in goodaccordance especially the displacement time histories ere-fore the CEL method can simulate the FSI process well and itcan predict accurately the shock wave propagation in thecomplex model

31 Numerical Model e two-dimensional axisymmetricnumerical model of a double-layer hemispherical shellsubjected to underwater explosion is established to in-vestigate the propagation characteristics of the shock wave inmultilayer media as plotted in Figure 9e outer shell has aradius of R1 and a thickness of d1 while the inner shell has aradius of R2 and a thickness of d2 e parameters related todistance are normalized by the charge radius R0 namelyR1 R1R0 20 d1 d1R0 R2 R2R0 17 d2 d2R0and r RR0 10minus16 e thickness of the outer shell ischanged to test the effects so d1 01minus08 are selected with aconstant of d2 04 e mass of the spherical TNT chargethe charge radius R0 and the size of the Eulerian domain arethe same as those of the free-field model in Section 23 emeasuring points 1 and 3 are located near the outside surfaceof the outer shell and the inner shell respectively emeasuring point 2 is located near the inside of the outershell and the distance from point 2 to the outer shell isd 02R0 e shell structure is fixed around the boundaryand the transmitting condition is enforced around the fluiddomain so as to overcome the nonphysical reflection eparameters related to time hereinafter are normalized by thetime decay constant θ when r 10 in equation (8)

Medium 1 and medium 2 are water or air e materialparameters of water and charge are the same as those in thefree-field model Air is modeled by the ideal gas equation ofstate which can be written as p ρρ0((cminus 1))e where thespecific heat ratio c is 14 the initial density of air ρ0 is1225 kgm3 and the specific energy e is 2534 kJm3 [25]e density of steel is 7830 kgm3 [25] Note that theJohnsonndashCook strength parameters listed in Table 6 [25] forthe steel are different from those of the experiment in Section23 e element size for the Eulerian part is also 5mm the

same as that of the free-field model and more than fourelements in the thickness direction are discretized for theLagrangian part us the Eulerian domain contains about100000 cells and the number of Lagrangian cells rangesfrom 4230 to 8940 due to different outer shell thicknesses

32 Shock Wave Propagation Process Figure 10 shows theshock wave propagation process for the case of media 1 and2 filled with water and air respectively at the detonationdistance r 10 Several typical instants during the processare presented Obviously they show a similar process afterthe charge detonation and a spherical shock wave prop-agates to the outer shell surface (Figure 10(a)) when thewave arrives at the outer shell whose other side is backed towater it is reflected and transmitted by the shell as plottedin Figure 10(b) (the left column) Accordingly when thewave arrives at the outer shell whose other side is backed toair there exists a rarefaction wave reflected which travelsbackwards in water Due to the much lower impedance ofthe air the transmitted wave is weaker than the reflectedwave erefore Figure 10(b) (the right column) cannotrecognize the transmitted wave in the air-backed casewhen the transmitted shock wave reaches the inner shellwhose other side is backed to water the shock wave isreflected and transmitted over the shell again inFigure 10(c) (the left column) Cavitation occurs near theouter shell in the air-backed case as shown in Figure 10(c)(the right column) Also the pressure of the reflected andtransmitted waves on the inner shell in the water-backedcase is obviously larger than that in the air-backed caseLater the wave reflected from the inner shell propagates tothe outer shell and then it is reflected and transmittedagain Due to the complex superposition of the incidentwave the reflected wave and the transmitted wave thepressure becomes very complicated (Figure 10(d) (the leftcolumn)) At the same time the cavitation region in the air-backed case is further expanding

On the whole because of the severe mismatch of theimpedance between different media the intensity of thetransmitted wave of the shells backed to water is larger thanthat of the shells backed to air and the cavitation region nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

33 ShockWaveReflection Figure 11 shows the time historyof the shock wave pressure at point 1 e outer shell isbacked to water in case a and to air in case b Meanwhiledifferent thicknesses of the outer shell are also taken intoaccount and the detonation distance r is 10 Note thatmedium 2 behind the inner shell has a little effect on thereflected pressure near the outer shell As the results show ifd1 gt 04 with the increase of the outer shell thickness thepressure of the reflected wave tends to be steady in bothcases By comparing the above two cases it can be seen thatthe peak pressure of the reflected wave caused by the water-backed shell is larger than that of the air-backed case but thelatter tends to be consistent with the former in value ifd1 ge 04 What is more the pressure fluctuates more vio-lently for the air-backed case

is can be explained from the perspective of wavepropagations e first interface for the wave arrival is thesame for the two cases namely the interface between thewater and the outside of the outer shell erefore the re-flected wave pressure at this interface should be equal in bothcases However at the next interface the shock wave trans-mits from the inside of the outer shell to the water in case awhile from the inside to the air in case b Because the acousticimpedances of water and air are much lower than that of steelthere is a rarefaction wave reflected at this interface [47ndash51]erefore the intensity of the incident shock wave isunloaded Moreover the acoustic impedance of air is lowerthan that of water the unloading effect in case a is less seriousthan that in case b so the peak pressure of the reflected wavein case a is larger than that in case b e stiffness of the outershell however is improved with the increase of shell thick-ness Hence the intensity of the reflected wave in these twocases is gradually enhanced To sum up if the outer shellthickness d1 ge 04 the medium behind the outer shell willaffect the peak pressure of the reflected wave slightly

e reflection coefficient of shock wave pressure is de-fined as λr P1P0 where P1 is the peak pressure of thereflected wave at point 1 and P0 is the peak pressure at thesame distance in the free-field underwater explosion modelIn the present work if the detonation distance is far enoughthe numerical model can be regarded as a one-dimensionalmodel Based on Taylorrsquos assumptions [6] we can obtain

P1 P0 + Pr minus ρcv where Pr is the pressure of the reflectedwave and ρcv is the pressure of the rarefaction wave pro-duced by the motion of the structure ρ is the density ofwater c is the sound speed of water and v is the velocity ofthe outer shell If the perfect reflection of the incident waveoccurs [52 53] the pressure of the reflected wave would readPr P0 erefore P1 should satisfy P1 2P0 minus ρcv theo-retically And then the reflection coefficient holdsλr P1P0 2minus ρcvP0

Figure 12 illustrates the reflection coefficients of theshock wave varying with the thickness of the outer shell atthe distance r 10 Obviously the reflection coefficientsincrease with the increase of shell thickness but the trendgradually slows down for the two cases Moreover thecoefficients of the air-backed case are almost the same asthose of the water-backed case if d1 ge 04 e reflectioncoefficients exceed 1 no matter what the medium is filledwith at the back of the outer shell It means that thepresence of the outer shell enhances the peak pressure atpoint 1

If the thickness d1 04 the shock wave reflection co-efficients varying with the distance r in these two cases areplotted in Figure 13 e coefficients decrease with the in-crease of detonation distance as shown in Figure 13 erelationship between the reflection coefficients and thedetonation distance is approximately linear for these twocases In the present work we can recast the Zamyshlyayevempirical formula ie equation (6) as P0 k(1r)

α wherek and α are the ratio parameter and exponent parameterrespectively So a relation between the reflection coefficientλr and the distance r can be obtained asλr P1P0 2minus (ρcvk)rα As described in the literature[54] the rarefaction wave (ie ρcv) can be neglected at theearly stage of shock wave impinging on the absolutely rigidstructure For the elastic shell if we extract the velocities ofthe outer shell near point 1 from numerical results listed inTable 7 we can find these velocities are positive for thesecases So the rarefaction wave cannot be neglected In thiscase the reflection coefficient of peak pressure varying withthe distance r can be obtained from the numerical simu-lation as shown in Figure 13 One should notice that thedecreasing trend of the coefficient is only suitable for thecases of close distances (ie 10le rle 16)

e impulse reflection coefficient can be defined asIr I1I0 where I1 is the pressure impulse at point 1 and I0is the pressure impulse at the same distance in the free-fieldunderwater explosion model Figure 14 shows the impulsereflection coefficients varying with shell thickness in thewater-backed case and air-backed case at the detonationdistance r 10 e impulse reflection coefficients increasewith the increase of shell thickness and the tendency be-comes gradually slow If d1 lt 04 the impulse reflectioncoefficients of the air-backed case will be smaller than thoseof the water-backed case because the deformation of theouter shell in the air-backed case is more serious than that inthe water-backed case If the thickness d1 ge 04 the co-efficients of the air-backed case are larger than those of thewater-backed case Under this circumstance the de-formation of the outer shell is not the principal factor

influencing impulse since the stiffness of the outer shell ishigh enough e reason for this phenomenon is that theincident wave transmits over the outer shell in the water-backed case while the incident wave is mainly reflected inthe air-backed case because of the impedance differencebetween water and air

If the thickness d1 04 the impulse reflection co-efficients varying with different detonation distances in thesetwo cases are plotted in Figure 15 e coefficients ap-proximately decrease linearly with the increase of detonationdistance whatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air Itshould be noticed that Ir of the air-backed case changesfaster than that of the water-backed case and varies in a widerange which may be due to the fact that complex super-position of the wave system between the outer shell and the

inner shell affects seriously the pressure of point 1 aftert 709θ found in Figure 10

outer shell a peak pressure called the transmitted peakoccurs in these two cases and then it attenuates quicklyWith the attenuation of the pressure the waves reflected bythe outer and inner surfaces of the inner shell reach point 2at about t 630θ as shown in Figure 17 Owing to thesuperposition of the transmitted wave and the reflectedwave it causes the pressure to rise and generates a secondpeak pressure called the reflected peak which might have asecond impact on the shell (Figures 16(a) and 16(b)) In

addition both the peaks decrease with the increase of theouter shell thickness It is worth noting that the reflectedpeak can be larger than the transmitted peak if d1 ge 06 Itindicates that the reflected wave produced by the innersurface of the outer shell plays a leading role under thiscircumstance

Media 1 and 2 are both air (noted as air-air) inFigure 16(c) while medium 1 is air and medium 2 is water(noted as air-water) in Figure 16(d) e peak pressures ofthe transmitted shock wave at point 2 are almost the same atthe same shell thickness for both the cases while they are

about 1330 times that of the water-water case It may be dueto the lower impedance of air which is about 15000 timesthat of the water If the shell thickness d1 02 in these twocases there are no values in pressure history curves when thetime exceeds 946θ which is due to the fact that the outershell after deformation is over the position of the measuringpoint 2 With the increase of the shell thickness the pressureattenuates gradually Different from the water-water case orwater-air case the second peak arrives later (at aboutt 1577θ) which may be due to the strong impedancemismatch Also the pressure time histories show no

differences for medium 2 filled with water or air behind theinner shell

As seen in Figures 16(a)ndash16(d) it can be found thatmedium 1 has a great influence on the pressure of thetransmitted wave On the contrary medium 2 behind theinner shell has few effects on the transmitted pressure

e transmission coefficient λt P2P0 can be defined asthe ratio of the peak pressure P2 of the transmitted wave atpoint 2 ie the first peak in Figure 16 to the peak pressureP0 of the incident shock wave in free field e transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave varying with different shellthicknesses are plotted in Figure 18 As described in theanalysis above medium 2 behind the inner shell has littleeffect on the peak pressure of the transmitted shock waveerefore the cases in which medium 2 is water whilemedium 1 is water or air are hereinafter taken for examplesWith the increase of the shell thickness the transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave decrease exponentially for thetwo cases Although the peak pressure P2 of the air-backedcase is much smaller than that of the water-backed case thetrend of transmission coefficients varying with different shellthicknesses is similar to that of the water-backed case

Taking the thickness d1 04 for example the curves ofthe transmission coefficients varying with different deto-nation distances can be plotted in Figure 19 Unlike

Figure 13 with the increase of the detonation distance thetransmission coefficients have a trend of increase by degreese difference may be because the peak pressure P2 is af-fected by the inner shell and the outer shell together whileP1 is mainly affected by the outer shell although the peakpressure P1 and P2 decrease as the detonation distanceincreases

e total energy released by the TNT is 2703 kJ att 75θ and the proportion of the energy absorbed by theouter shell accounting for the total energy is plotted inFigure 20 Because the TNTmass is quite small and the shellhas not been destroyed the energy absorbed by the outershell is less With the increase of shell thickness the energyabsorption proportion increases generally Another featureis that the proportion of the energy absorbed by the outershell can be up to 2 for the air-backed case while about 1for the water-backed case when the shell thickness d1 rangesfrom 01 to 08 For the same shell thickness the energyabsorption of the air-backed case is two to three times that ofthe water-backed case is may attribute to the largerdeformation of the shell in the air-backed case

Figure 21 shows the proportion of the energy transmittedover the outer shell versus different thicknesses etransmission energy gradually decreases with the increase ofshell thickness for the two cases For the same shell

thickness the transmission energy of the air-backed shell ismuch smaller than that of the water-backed shell whichcoincides with the above results in Figure 18 at is thetransmission coefficient λt of the air-backed case is muchsmaller than that of the water-backed case

Figure 22 shows the Mises stress contours of the outerand inner shells for the case of the outer shell thicknessd1 04 It can be seen that if medium 1 between the two

shells is air the maximum stress of the shell will be about 15times that of the water-backed shell and there are almost nostresses in the inner shell erefore it can be concluded thatif the medium is filled with air between two shells the innershell is prevented from serious impact

the relationship between the reflection and transmission ofthe shock wave the ratios λ1 (P1 minusP0)P2 of the peakpressure of the reflected shock wave to that of the trans-mitted shock wave are plotted in Figure 23 e peakpressure of the reflected shock wave is the difference betweenthe measured pressure P1 near the surface of the outer shelland the incident pressure P0 in free field

Obviously with the increase of the thickness no matterwhat the outer shell is backed to the ratios increase and tendto be slow when the thickness exceeds to some extents for theair-backed case e reason for this phenomenon is that thepeak pressure P2 of the transmission wave decreases dras-tically with the increase of shell thickness (Figures 16 and18) Another feature is that the ratios of the shell backed toair are much larger than those of the shell backed to waterat is the reflection proportion is dominant for the air-backed case is can be explained by the fact which can befound in Section 34 that the peak pressure P2 of the air-backed case is smaller than that of the water-backed case fortwo orders of magnitude

Figure 24 shows the peak pressure ratios λ2 P3P1 atthe measuring points 1 and 3 versus different outer shellthicknesses Generally the ratios decrease with the increaseof the shell thickness no matter what media 1 and 2 are filledwith It indicates the reflection proportion increase as theshell thickens In addition the ratios of the water-backedcases (water-water case and water-air case) are obviouslylarger than those of the air-backed cases (air-air case and air-water case) which almost coincide with each other eseaccord well with the analysis in Sections 33 and 34

After the directive wave propagating over the outer shellthe transmitted wave arrives at the inner shell which can beregarded as a directive wave producing a new charge ie theequivalent charge mass me at is to say the effect of thetransmitted wave on the inner shell is to some extentequivalent to that of a new charge on the inner shell Withthe aid of the analysis in Section 33 me can be transformedfrom a free-field component of incident peak pressure on theinner shell namely P4 P3λr by Zamyshlyayev empiricalformula (6)

Table 8 presents the ratios of the equivalent charge massme to the actual charge mass mr e cases of the mediumbetween the two shells filled with water are considered andair-backed cases are absent because P3 is too small As thetable shows the equivalent charge mass for the inner shellcan be decreased about 75 if the outer shell thickness isover 02 times the charge radius With the increasingthickness the equivalent charge mass decreases sharply

emedium between two hemispherical shells will affectthe peak pressure of the reflected wave generated by theouter shell slightly if the outer shell thickness is thicker thana certain level (here it is over 04 times the charge radius)e reflection coefficients of peak pressure and impulseincrease with the increase of shell thickness and decreaselinearly with the increase of detonation distance Besides thecavitation area caused by the reflected rarefaction wave nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

When the wave transmits over the outer shell a peakpressure called the transmitted peak occurs whatever themedium behind the outer shell is water or air It is worthmentioning that a second peak which is relatively comparedto the transmitted peak can be produced by the reflections ofthe inner shell and it will be larger than the transmitted peakif the outer shell thickness reaches a certain extent (here it isover 06 times the charge radius) for the water-water andwater-air casesemedium between the two shells has great

influences on the transmitted wave while the medium be-hind the inner shell has slight effects on the transmittedwave With the increase of the shell thickness the trans-mission coefficients of the shock wave decrease exponen-tially and increase linearly with the detonation distancewhatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air

For the same outer shell thickness the energy absorptionof the air-backed case is about two to three times that of thewater-backed case With the increasing thickness theequivalent charge mass decreases drastically e equivalentcharge mass for the inner shell can be decreased about 75 ifthe outer shell thickness is over 02 times the charge radius

In fact during the shock wave propagating in multilayermedia the FSI process is involved In order to further test thereliability of the CEL method in dealing with FSI problemsan experiment (this experimental case and relevant data areprovided by the Institute of Fluid Physics China Academy ofEngineering Physics) is performed in a water tank with thesize of 2m times 2m times 2m e depth of water is 16m Asshown in Figure 6 the square test plate made from the mildsteel Q235 is fixed on the wall of the tank It has a length of08m and a thickness of 0003me cylindrical charge has asize of Φ 20mm times 18mm and thus the mass is 10 g echarge is placed in the water and its depth isD 08m eaxis of the charge is parallel with the plate and the distance R

e three-dimensional numerical model is establishedaccording to the layout of the experiment e water andTNTare also modeled by the Eulerian subgrid Note that theair in this numerical model can be ignored e steel ismodeled by the Lagrangian subgrid and its density is7830 kgm3 e JohnsonndashCook strength and fracture pa-rameters for the steel are listed in Tables 4 and 5 (found in[46]) e smallest element size of the Eulerian mesh is5mm and it is 15mm for the Lagrangian mesh e Eulerdomain consists of about 38 million cells and the La-grangian domain contains 570000 cells

e displacement and velocity time histories calculated bythe CEL method are compared with the experimental results inFigure 8 It is not hard to see from Figure 8 that they are in goodaccordance especially the displacement time histories ere-fore the CEL method can simulate the FSI process well and itcan predict accurately the shock wave propagation in thecomplex model

3 Results and Discussion

31 Numerical Model e two-dimensional axisymmetricnumerical model of a double-layer hemispherical shellsubjected to underwater explosion is established to in-vestigate the propagation characteristics of the shock wave inmultilayer media as plotted in Figure 9e outer shell has aradius of R1 and a thickness of d1 while the inner shell has aradius of R2 and a thickness of d2 e parameters related todistance are normalized by the charge radius R0 namelyR1 R1R0 20 d1 d1R0 R2 R2R0 17 d2 d2R0and r RR0 10minus16 e thickness of the outer shell ischanged to test the effects so d1 01minus08 are selected with aconstant of d2 04 e mass of the spherical TNT chargethe charge radius R0 and the size of the Eulerian domain arethe same as those of the free-field model in Section 23 emeasuring points 1 and 3 are located near the outside surfaceof the outer shell and the inner shell respectively emeasuring point 2 is located near the inside of the outershell and the distance from point 2 to the outer shell isd 02R0 e shell structure is fixed around the boundaryand the transmitting condition is enforced around the fluiddomain so as to overcome the nonphysical reflection eparameters related to time hereinafter are normalized by thetime decay constant θ when r 10 in equation (8)

Medium 1 and medium 2 are water or air e materialparameters of water and charge are the same as those in thefree-field model Air is modeled by the ideal gas equation ofstate which can be written as p ρρ0((cminus 1))e where thespecific heat ratio c is 14 the initial density of air ρ0 is1225 kgm3 and the specific energy e is 2534 kJm3 [25]e density of steel is 7830 kgm3 [25] Note that theJohnsonndashCook strength parameters listed in Table 6 [25] forthe steel are different from those of the experiment in Section23 e element size for the Eulerian part is also 5mm the

same as that of the free-field model and more than fourelements in the thickness direction are discretized for theLagrangian part us the Eulerian domain contains about100000 cells and the number of Lagrangian cells rangesfrom 4230 to 8940 due to different outer shell thicknesses

32 Shock Wave Propagation Process Figure 10 shows theshock wave propagation process for the case of media 1 and2 filled with water and air respectively at the detonationdistance r 10 Several typical instants during the processare presented Obviously they show a similar process afterthe charge detonation and a spherical shock wave prop-agates to the outer shell surface (Figure 10(a)) when thewave arrives at the outer shell whose other side is backed towater it is reflected and transmitted by the shell as plottedin Figure 10(b) (the left column) Accordingly when thewave arrives at the outer shell whose other side is backed toair there exists a rarefaction wave reflected which travelsbackwards in water Due to the much lower impedance ofthe air the transmitted wave is weaker than the reflectedwave erefore Figure 10(b) (the right column) cannotrecognize the transmitted wave in the air-backed casewhen the transmitted shock wave reaches the inner shellwhose other side is backed to water the shock wave isreflected and transmitted over the shell again inFigure 10(c) (the left column) Cavitation occurs near theouter shell in the air-backed case as shown in Figure 10(c)(the right column) Also the pressure of the reflected andtransmitted waves on the inner shell in the water-backedcase is obviously larger than that in the air-backed caseLater the wave reflected from the inner shell propagates tothe outer shell and then it is reflected and transmittedagain Due to the complex superposition of the incidentwave the reflected wave and the transmitted wave thepressure becomes very complicated (Figure 10(d) (the leftcolumn)) At the same time the cavitation region in the air-backed case is further expanding

On the whole because of the severe mismatch of theimpedance between different media the intensity of thetransmitted wave of the shells backed to water is larger thanthat of the shells backed to air and the cavitation region nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

33 ShockWaveReflection Figure 11 shows the time historyof the shock wave pressure at point 1 e outer shell isbacked to water in case a and to air in case b Meanwhiledifferent thicknesses of the outer shell are also taken intoaccount and the detonation distance r is 10 Note thatmedium 2 behind the inner shell has a little effect on thereflected pressure near the outer shell As the results show ifd1 gt 04 with the increase of the outer shell thickness thepressure of the reflected wave tends to be steady in bothcases By comparing the above two cases it can be seen thatthe peak pressure of the reflected wave caused by the water-backed shell is larger than that of the air-backed case but thelatter tends to be consistent with the former in value ifd1 ge 04 What is more the pressure fluctuates more vio-lently for the air-backed case

Shock and Vibration 7

is can be explained from the perspective of wavepropagations e first interface for the wave arrival is thesame for the two cases namely the interface between thewater and the outside of the outer shell erefore the re-flected wave pressure at this interface should be equal in bothcases However at the next interface the shock wave trans-mits from the inside of the outer shell to the water in case awhile from the inside to the air in case b Because the acousticimpedances of water and air are much lower than that of steelthere is a rarefaction wave reflected at this interface [47ndash51]erefore the intensity of the incident shock wave isunloaded Moreover the acoustic impedance of air is lowerthan that of water the unloading effect in case a is less seriousthan that in case b so the peak pressure of the reflected wavein case a is larger than that in case b e stiffness of the outershell however is improved with the increase of shell thick-ness Hence the intensity of the reflected wave in these twocases is gradually enhanced To sum up if the outer shellthickness d1 ge 04 the medium behind the outer shell willaffect the peak pressure of the reflected wave slightly

e reflection coefficient of shock wave pressure is de-fined as λr P1P0 where P1 is the peak pressure of thereflected wave at point 1 and P0 is the peak pressure at thesame distance in the free-field underwater explosion modelIn the present work if the detonation distance is far enoughthe numerical model can be regarded as a one-dimensionalmodel Based on Taylorrsquos assumptions [6] we can obtain

Figure 12 illustrates the reflection coefficients of theshock wave varying with the thickness of the outer shell atthe distance r 10 Obviously the reflection coefficientsincrease with the increase of shell thickness but the trendgradually slows down for the two cases Moreover thecoefficients of the air-backed case are almost the same asthose of the water-backed case if d1 ge 04 e reflectioncoefficients exceed 1 no matter what the medium is filledwith at the back of the outer shell It means that thepresence of the outer shell enhances the peak pressure atpoint 1

If the thickness d1 04 the shock wave reflection co-efficients varying with the distance r in these two cases areplotted in Figure 13 e coefficients decrease with the in-crease of detonation distance as shown in Figure 13 erelationship between the reflection coefficients and thedetonation distance is approximately linear for these twocases In the present work we can recast the Zamyshlyayevempirical formula ie equation (6) as P0 k(1r)

α wherek and α are the ratio parameter and exponent parameterrespectively So a relation between the reflection coefficientλr and the distance r can be obtained asλr P1P0 2minus (ρcvk)rα As described in the literature[54] the rarefaction wave (ie ρcv) can be neglected at theearly stage of shock wave impinging on the absolutely rigidstructure For the elastic shell if we extract the velocities ofthe outer shell near point 1 from numerical results listed inTable 7 we can find these velocities are positive for thesecases So the rarefaction wave cannot be neglected In thiscase the reflection coefficient of peak pressure varying withthe distance r can be obtained from the numerical simu-lation as shown in Figure 13 One should notice that thedecreasing trend of the coefficient is only suitable for thecases of close distances (ie 10le rle 16)

e impulse reflection coefficient can be defined asIr I1I0 where I1 is the pressure impulse at point 1 and I0is the pressure impulse at the same distance in the free-fieldunderwater explosion model Figure 14 shows the impulsereflection coefficients varying with shell thickness in thewater-backed case and air-backed case at the detonationdistance r 10 e impulse reflection coefficients increasewith the increase of shell thickness and the tendency be-comes gradually slow If d1 lt 04 the impulse reflectioncoefficients of the air-backed case will be smaller than thoseof the water-backed case because the deformation of theouter shell in the air-backed case is more serious than that inthe water-backed case If the thickness d1 ge 04 the co-efficients of the air-backed case are larger than those of thewater-backed case Under this circumstance the de-formation of the outer shell is not the principal factor

influencing impulse since the stiffness of the outer shell ishigh enough e reason for this phenomenon is that theincident wave transmits over the outer shell in the water-backed case while the incident wave is mainly reflected inthe air-backed case because of the impedance differencebetween water and air

If the thickness d1 04 the impulse reflection co-efficients varying with different detonation distances in thesetwo cases are plotted in Figure 15 e coefficients ap-proximately decrease linearly with the increase of detonationdistance whatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air Itshould be noticed that Ir of the air-backed case changesfaster than that of the water-backed case and varies in a widerange which may be due to the fact that complex super-position of the wave system between the outer shell and the

inner shell affects seriously the pressure of point 1 aftert 709θ found in Figure 10

addition both the peaks decrease with the increase of theouter shell thickness It is worth noting that the reflectedpeak can be larger than the transmitted peak if d1 ge 06 Itindicates that the reflected wave produced by the innersurface of the outer shell plays a leading role under thiscircumstance

Media 1 and 2 are both air (noted as air-air) inFigure 16(c) while medium 1 is air and medium 2 is water(noted as air-water) in Figure 16(d) e peak pressures ofthe transmitted shock wave at point 2 are almost the same atthe same shell thickness for both the cases while they are

about 1330 times that of the water-water case It may be dueto the lower impedance of air which is about 15000 timesthat of the water If the shell thickness d1 02 in these twocases there are no values in pressure history curves when thetime exceeds 946θ which is due to the fact that the outershell after deformation is over the position of the measuringpoint 2 With the increase of the shell thickness the pressureattenuates gradually Different from the water-water case orwater-air case the second peak arrives later (at aboutt 1577θ) which may be due to the strong impedancemismatch Also the pressure time histories show no

differences for medium 2 filled with water or air behind theinner shell

As seen in Figures 16(a)ndash16(d) it can be found thatmedium 1 has a great influence on the pressure of thetransmitted wave On the contrary medium 2 behind theinner shell has few effects on the transmitted pressure

e transmission coefficient λt P2P0 can be defined asthe ratio of the peak pressure P2 of the transmitted wave atpoint 2 ie the first peak in Figure 16 to the peak pressureP0 of the incident shock wave in free field e transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave varying with different shellthicknesses are plotted in Figure 18 As described in theanalysis above medium 2 behind the inner shell has littleeffect on the peak pressure of the transmitted shock waveerefore the cases in which medium 2 is water whilemedium 1 is water or air are hereinafter taken for examplesWith the increase of the shell thickness the transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave decrease exponentially for thetwo cases Although the peak pressure P2 of the air-backedcase is much smaller than that of the water-backed case thetrend of transmission coefficients varying with different shellthicknesses is similar to that of the water-backed case

Taking the thickness d1 04 for example the curves ofthe transmission coefficients varying with different deto-nation distances can be plotted in Figure 19 Unlike

Figure 13 with the increase of the detonation distance thetransmission coefficients have a trend of increase by degreese difference may be because the peak pressure P2 is af-fected by the inner shell and the outer shell together whileP1 is mainly affected by the outer shell although the peakpressure P1 and P2 decrease as the detonation distanceincreases

e total energy released by the TNT is 2703 kJ att 75θ and the proportion of the energy absorbed by theouter shell accounting for the total energy is plotted inFigure 20 Because the TNTmass is quite small and the shellhas not been destroyed the energy absorbed by the outershell is less With the increase of shell thickness the energyabsorption proportion increases generally Another featureis that the proportion of the energy absorbed by the outershell can be up to 2 for the air-backed case while about 1for the water-backed case when the shell thickness d1 rangesfrom 01 to 08 For the same shell thickness the energyabsorption of the air-backed case is two to three times that ofthe water-backed case is may attribute to the largerdeformation of the shell in the air-backed case

Figure 21 shows the proportion of the energy transmittedover the outer shell versus different thicknesses etransmission energy gradually decreases with the increase ofshell thickness for the two cases For the same shell

thickness the transmission energy of the air-backed shell ismuch smaller than that of the water-backed shell whichcoincides with the above results in Figure 18 at is thetransmission coefficient λt of the air-backed case is muchsmaller than that of the water-backed case

Figure 22 shows the Mises stress contours of the outerand inner shells for the case of the outer shell thicknessd1 04 It can be seen that if medium 1 between the two

shells is air the maximum stress of the shell will be about 15times that of the water-backed shell and there are almost nostresses in the inner shell erefore it can be concluded thatif the medium is filled with air between two shells the innershell is prevented from serious impact

the relationship between the reflection and transmission ofthe shock wave the ratios λ1 (P1 minusP0)P2 of the peakpressure of the reflected shock wave to that of the trans-mitted shock wave are plotted in Figure 23 e peakpressure of the reflected shock wave is the difference betweenthe measured pressure P1 near the surface of the outer shelland the incident pressure P0 in free field

Obviously with the increase of the thickness no matterwhat the outer shell is backed to the ratios increase and tendto be slow when the thickness exceeds to some extents for theair-backed case e reason for this phenomenon is that thepeak pressure P2 of the transmission wave decreases dras-tically with the increase of shell thickness (Figures 16 and18) Another feature is that the ratios of the shell backed toair are much larger than those of the shell backed to waterat is the reflection proportion is dominant for the air-backed case is can be explained by the fact which can befound in Section 34 that the peak pressure P2 of the air-backed case is smaller than that of the water-backed case fortwo orders of magnitude

Figure 24 shows the peak pressure ratios λ2 P3P1 atthe measuring points 1 and 3 versus different outer shellthicknesses Generally the ratios decrease with the increaseof the shell thickness no matter what media 1 and 2 are filledwith It indicates the reflection proportion increase as theshell thickens In addition the ratios of the water-backedcases (water-water case and water-air case) are obviouslylarger than those of the air-backed cases (air-air case and air-water case) which almost coincide with each other eseaccord well with the analysis in Sections 33 and 34

After the directive wave propagating over the outer shellthe transmitted wave arrives at the inner shell which can beregarded as a directive wave producing a new charge ie theequivalent charge mass me at is to say the effect of thetransmitted wave on the inner shell is to some extentequivalent to that of a new charge on the inner shell Withthe aid of the analysis in Section 33 me can be transformedfrom a free-field component of incident peak pressure on theinner shell namely P4 P3λr by Zamyshlyayev empiricalformula (6)

Table 8 presents the ratios of the equivalent charge massme to the actual charge mass mr e cases of the mediumbetween the two shells filled with water are considered andair-backed cases are absent because P3 is too small As thetable shows the equivalent charge mass for the inner shellcan be decreased about 75 if the outer shell thickness isover 02 times the charge radius With the increasingthickness the equivalent charge mass decreases sharply

e relationships among the incident reflected and trans-mitted waves are discussed

emedium between two hemispherical shells will affectthe peak pressure of the reflected wave generated by theouter shell slightly if the outer shell thickness is thicker thana certain level (here it is over 04 times the charge radius)e reflection coefficients of peak pressure and impulseincrease with the increase of shell thickness and decreaselinearly with the increase of detonation distance Besides thecavitation area caused by the reflected rarefaction wave nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

When the wave transmits over the outer shell a peakpressure called the transmitted peak occurs whatever themedium behind the outer shell is water or air It is worthmentioning that a second peak which is relatively comparedto the transmitted peak can be produced by the reflections ofthe inner shell and it will be larger than the transmitted peakif the outer shell thickness reaches a certain extent (here it isover 06 times the charge radius) for the water-water andwater-air casesemedium between the two shells has great

influences on the transmitted wave while the medium be-hind the inner shell has slight effects on the transmittedwave With the increase of the shell thickness the trans-mission coefficients of the shock wave decrease exponen-tially and increase linearly with the detonation distancewhatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air

For the same outer shell thickness the energy absorptionof the air-backed case is about two to three times that of thewater-backed case With the increasing thickness theequivalent charge mass decreases drastically e equivalentcharge mass for the inner shell can be decreased about 75 ifthe outer shell thickness is over 02 times the charge radius

the transmitting boundary condition as shown inFigure 3(c)e time histories of the pressure at r 10 andr 13 obtained from CEL and Zamyshlyayev empiricalformulas [3] are compared in Figure 5 It reveals that theyaccord with each other If one defines the relative error ofthe peak pressure between the numerical P0 and theZamyshlyayev results P as ε |P0 minusP|P the values can belisted in Table 3 We can find that the relative errors arewithin 10 Although there are some oscillations causedby the strong discontinuity of the shock wave in thenumerical results the whole attenuation process and peakpressure values are in good agreement with the empiricalformula

In fact during the shock wave propagating in multilayermedia the FSI process is involved In order to further test thereliability of the CEL method in dealing with FSI problemsan experiment (this experimental case and relevant data areprovided by the Institute of Fluid Physics China Academy ofEngineering Physics) is performed in a water tank with thesize of 2m times 2m times 2m e depth of water is 16m Asshown in Figure 6 the square test plate made from the mildsteel Q235 is fixed on the wall of the tank It has a length of08m and a thickness of 0003me cylindrical charge has asize of Φ 20mm times 18mm and thus the mass is 10 g echarge is placed in the water and its depth isD 08m eaxis of the charge is parallel with the plate and the distance R

e three-dimensional numerical model is establishedaccording to the layout of the experiment e water andTNTare also modeled by the Eulerian subgrid Note that theair in this numerical model can be ignored e steel ismodeled by the Lagrangian subgrid and its density is7830 kgm3 e JohnsonndashCook strength and fracture pa-rameters for the steel are listed in Tables 4 and 5 (found in[46]) e smallest element size of the Eulerian mesh is5mm and it is 15mm for the Lagrangian mesh e Eulerdomain consists of about 38 million cells and the La-grangian domain contains 570000 cells

e displacement and velocity time histories calculated bythe CEL method are compared with the experimental results inFigure 8 It is not hard to see from Figure 8 that they are in goodaccordance especially the displacement time histories ere-fore the CEL method can simulate the FSI process well and itcan predict accurately the shock wave propagation in thecomplex model

3 Results and Discussion

31 Numerical Model e two-dimensional axisymmetricnumerical model of a double-layer hemispherical shellsubjected to underwater explosion is established to in-vestigate the propagation characteristics of the shock wave inmultilayer media as plotted in Figure 9e outer shell has aradius of R1 and a thickness of d1 while the inner shell has aradius of R2 and a thickness of d2 e parameters related todistance are normalized by the charge radius R0 namelyR1 R1R0 20 d1 d1R0 R2 R2R0 17 d2 d2R0and r RR0 10minus16 e thickness of the outer shell ischanged to test the effects so d1 01minus08 are selected with aconstant of d2 04 e mass of the spherical TNT chargethe charge radius R0 and the size of the Eulerian domain arethe same as those of the free-field model in Section 23 emeasuring points 1 and 3 are located near the outside surfaceof the outer shell and the inner shell respectively emeasuring point 2 is located near the inside of the outershell and the distance from point 2 to the outer shell isd 02R0 e shell structure is fixed around the boundaryand the transmitting condition is enforced around the fluiddomain so as to overcome the nonphysical reflection eparameters related to time hereinafter are normalized by thetime decay constant θ when r 10 in equation (8)

Medium 1 and medium 2 are water or air e materialparameters of water and charge are the same as those in thefree-field model Air is modeled by the ideal gas equation ofstate which can be written as p ρρ0((cminus 1))e where thespecific heat ratio c is 14 the initial density of air ρ0 is1225 kgm3 and the specific energy e is 2534 kJm3 [25]e density of steel is 7830 kgm3 [25] Note that theJohnsonndashCook strength parameters listed in Table 6 [25] forthe steel are different from those of the experiment in Section23 e element size for the Eulerian part is also 5mm the

same as that of the free-field model and more than fourelements in the thickness direction are discretized for theLagrangian part us the Eulerian domain contains about100000 cells and the number of Lagrangian cells rangesfrom 4230 to 8940 due to different outer shell thicknesses

32 Shock Wave Propagation Process Figure 10 shows theshock wave propagation process for the case of media 1 and2 filled with water and air respectively at the detonationdistance r 10 Several typical instants during the processare presented Obviously they show a similar process afterthe charge detonation and a spherical shock wave prop-agates to the outer shell surface (Figure 10(a)) when thewave arrives at the outer shell whose other side is backed towater it is reflected and transmitted by the shell as plottedin Figure 10(b) (the left column) Accordingly when thewave arrives at the outer shell whose other side is backed toair there exists a rarefaction wave reflected which travelsbackwards in water Due to the much lower impedance ofthe air the transmitted wave is weaker than the reflectedwave erefore Figure 10(b) (the right column) cannotrecognize the transmitted wave in the air-backed casewhen the transmitted shock wave reaches the inner shellwhose other side is backed to water the shock wave isreflected and transmitted over the shell again inFigure 10(c) (the left column) Cavitation occurs near theouter shell in the air-backed case as shown in Figure 10(c)(the right column) Also the pressure of the reflected andtransmitted waves on the inner shell in the water-backedcase is obviously larger than that in the air-backed caseLater the wave reflected from the inner shell propagates tothe outer shell and then it is reflected and transmittedagain Due to the complex superposition of the incidentwave the reflected wave and the transmitted wave thepressure becomes very complicated (Figure 10(d) (the leftcolumn)) At the same time the cavitation region in the air-backed case is further expanding

On the whole because of the severe mismatch of theimpedance between different media the intensity of thetransmitted wave of the shells backed to water is larger thanthat of the shells backed to air and the cavitation region nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

33 ShockWaveReflection Figure 11 shows the time historyof the shock wave pressure at point 1 e outer shell isbacked to water in case a and to air in case b Meanwhiledifferent thicknesses of the outer shell are also taken intoaccount and the detonation distance r is 10 Note thatmedium 2 behind the inner shell has a little effect on thereflected pressure near the outer shell As the results show ifd1 gt 04 with the increase of the outer shell thickness thepressure of the reflected wave tends to be steady in bothcases By comparing the above two cases it can be seen thatthe peak pressure of the reflected wave caused by the water-backed shell is larger than that of the air-backed case but thelatter tends to be consistent with the former in value ifd1 ge 04 What is more the pressure fluctuates more vio-lently for the air-backed case

Shock and Vibration 7

is can be explained from the perspective of wavepropagations e first interface for the wave arrival is thesame for the two cases namely the interface between thewater and the outside of the outer shell erefore the re-flected wave pressure at this interface should be equal in bothcases However at the next interface the shock wave trans-mits from the inside of the outer shell to the water in case awhile from the inside to the air in case b Because the acousticimpedances of water and air are much lower than that of steelthere is a rarefaction wave reflected at this interface [47ndash51]erefore the intensity of the incident shock wave isunloaded Moreover the acoustic impedance of air is lowerthan that of water the unloading effect in case a is less seriousthan that in case b so the peak pressure of the reflected wavein case a is larger than that in case b e stiffness of the outershell however is improved with the increase of shell thick-ness Hence the intensity of the reflected wave in these twocases is gradually enhanced To sum up if the outer shellthickness d1 ge 04 the medium behind the outer shell willaffect the peak pressure of the reflected wave slightly

e reflection coefficient of shock wave pressure is de-fined as λr P1P0 where P1 is the peak pressure of thereflected wave at point 1 and P0 is the peak pressure at thesame distance in the free-field underwater explosion modelIn the present work if the detonation distance is far enoughthe numerical model can be regarded as a one-dimensionalmodel Based on Taylorrsquos assumptions [6] we can obtain

P1 P0 + Pr minus ρcv where Pr is the pressure of the reflectedwave and ρcv is the pressure of the rarefaction wave pro-duced by the motion of the structure ρ is the density ofwater c is the sound speed of water and v is the velocity ofthe outer shell If the perfect reflection of the incident waveoccurs [52 53] the pressure of the reflected wave would readPr P0 erefore P1 should satisfy P1 2P0 minus ρcv theo-retically And then the reflection coefficient holdsλr P1P0 2minus ρcvP0

Figure 12 illustrates the reflection coefficients of theshock wave varying with the thickness of the outer shell atthe distance r 10 Obviously the reflection coefficientsincrease with the increase of shell thickness but the trendgradually slows down for the two cases Moreover thecoefficients of the air-backed case are almost the same asthose of the water-backed case if d1 ge 04 e reflectioncoefficients exceed 1 no matter what the medium is filledwith at the back of the outer shell It means that thepresence of the outer shell enhances the peak pressure atpoint 1

If the thickness d1 04 the shock wave reflection co-efficients varying with the distance r in these two cases areplotted in Figure 13 e coefficients decrease with the in-crease of detonation distance as shown in Figure 13 erelationship between the reflection coefficients and thedetonation distance is approximately linear for these twocases In the present work we can recast the Zamyshlyayevempirical formula ie equation (6) as P0 k(1r)

α wherek and α are the ratio parameter and exponent parameterrespectively So a relation between the reflection coefficientλr and the distance r can be obtained asλr P1P0 2minus (ρcvk)rα As described in the literature[54] the rarefaction wave (ie ρcv) can be neglected at theearly stage of shock wave impinging on the absolutely rigidstructure For the elastic shell if we extract the velocities ofthe outer shell near point 1 from numerical results listed inTable 7 we can find these velocities are positive for thesecases So the rarefaction wave cannot be neglected In thiscase the reflection coefficient of peak pressure varying withthe distance r can be obtained from the numerical simu-lation as shown in Figure 13 One should notice that thedecreasing trend of the coefficient is only suitable for thecases of close distances (ie 10le rle 16)

e impulse reflection coefficient can be defined asIr I1I0 where I1 is the pressure impulse at point 1 and I0is the pressure impulse at the same distance in the free-fieldunderwater explosion model Figure 14 shows the impulsereflection coefficients varying with shell thickness in thewater-backed case and air-backed case at the detonationdistance r 10 e impulse reflection coefficients increasewith the increase of shell thickness and the tendency be-comes gradually slow If d1 lt 04 the impulse reflectioncoefficients of the air-backed case will be smaller than thoseof the water-backed case because the deformation of theouter shell in the air-backed case is more serious than that inthe water-backed case If the thickness d1 ge 04 the co-efficients of the air-backed case are larger than those of thewater-backed case Under this circumstance the de-formation of the outer shell is not the principal factor

influencing impulse since the stiffness of the outer shell ishigh enough e reason for this phenomenon is that theincident wave transmits over the outer shell in the water-backed case while the incident wave is mainly reflected inthe air-backed case because of the impedance differencebetween water and air

If the thickness d1 04 the impulse reflection co-efficients varying with different detonation distances in thesetwo cases are plotted in Figure 15 e coefficients ap-proximately decrease linearly with the increase of detonationdistance whatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air Itshould be noticed that Ir of the air-backed case changesfaster than that of the water-backed case and varies in a widerange which may be due to the fact that complex super-position of the wave system between the outer shell and the

inner shell affects seriously the pressure of point 1 aftert 709θ found in Figure 10

outer shell a peak pressure called the transmitted peakoccurs in these two cases and then it attenuates quicklyWith the attenuation of the pressure the waves reflected bythe outer and inner surfaces of the inner shell reach point 2at about t 630θ as shown in Figure 17 Owing to thesuperposition of the transmitted wave and the reflectedwave it causes the pressure to rise and generates a secondpeak pressure called the reflected peak which might have asecond impact on the shell (Figures 16(a) and 16(b)) In

addition both the peaks decrease with the increase of theouter shell thickness It is worth noting that the reflectedpeak can be larger than the transmitted peak if d1 ge 06 Itindicates that the reflected wave produced by the innersurface of the outer shell plays a leading role under thiscircumstance

Media 1 and 2 are both air (noted as air-air) inFigure 16(c) while medium 1 is air and medium 2 is water(noted as air-water) in Figure 16(d) e peak pressures ofthe transmitted shock wave at point 2 are almost the same atthe same shell thickness for both the cases while they are

about 1330 times that of the water-water case It may be dueto the lower impedance of air which is about 15000 timesthat of the water If the shell thickness d1 02 in these twocases there are no values in pressure history curves when thetime exceeds 946θ which is due to the fact that the outershell after deformation is over the position of the measuringpoint 2 With the increase of the shell thickness the pressureattenuates gradually Different from the water-water case orwater-air case the second peak arrives later (at aboutt 1577θ) which may be due to the strong impedancemismatch Also the pressure time histories show no

differences for medium 2 filled with water or air behind theinner shell

As seen in Figures 16(a)ndash16(d) it can be found thatmedium 1 has a great influence on the pressure of thetransmitted wave On the contrary medium 2 behind theinner shell has few effects on the transmitted pressure

e transmission coefficient λt P2P0 can be defined asthe ratio of the peak pressure P2 of the transmitted wave atpoint 2 ie the first peak in Figure 16 to the peak pressureP0 of the incident shock wave in free field e transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave varying with different shellthicknesses are plotted in Figure 18 As described in theanalysis above medium 2 behind the inner shell has littleeffect on the peak pressure of the transmitted shock waveerefore the cases in which medium 2 is water whilemedium 1 is water or air are hereinafter taken for examplesWith the increase of the shell thickness the transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave decrease exponentially for thetwo cases Although the peak pressure P2 of the air-backedcase is much smaller than that of the water-backed case thetrend of transmission coefficients varying with different shellthicknesses is similar to that of the water-backed case

Taking the thickness d1 04 for example the curves ofthe transmission coefficients varying with different deto-nation distances can be plotted in Figure 19 Unlike

Figure 13 with the increase of the detonation distance thetransmission coefficients have a trend of increase by degreese difference may be because the peak pressure P2 is af-fected by the inner shell and the outer shell together whileP1 is mainly affected by the outer shell although the peakpressure P1 and P2 decrease as the detonation distanceincreases

e total energy released by the TNT is 2703 kJ att 75θ and the proportion of the energy absorbed by theouter shell accounting for the total energy is plotted inFigure 20 Because the TNTmass is quite small and the shellhas not been destroyed the energy absorbed by the outershell is less With the increase of shell thickness the energyabsorption proportion increases generally Another featureis that the proportion of the energy absorbed by the outershell can be up to 2 for the air-backed case while about 1for the water-backed case when the shell thickness d1 rangesfrom 01 to 08 For the same shell thickness the energyabsorption of the air-backed case is two to three times that ofthe water-backed case is may attribute to the largerdeformation of the shell in the air-backed case

Figure 21 shows the proportion of the energy transmittedover the outer shell versus different thicknesses etransmission energy gradually decreases with the increase ofshell thickness for the two cases For the same shell

thickness the transmission energy of the air-backed shell ismuch smaller than that of the water-backed shell whichcoincides with the above results in Figure 18 at is thetransmission coefficient λt of the air-backed case is muchsmaller than that of the water-backed case

Figure 22 shows the Mises stress contours of the outerand inner shells for the case of the outer shell thicknessd1 04 It can be seen that if medium 1 between the two

shells is air the maximum stress of the shell will be about 15times that of the water-backed shell and there are almost nostresses in the inner shell erefore it can be concluded thatif the medium is filled with air between two shells the innershell is prevented from serious impact

the relationship between the reflection and transmission ofthe shock wave the ratios λ1 (P1 minusP0)P2 of the peakpressure of the reflected shock wave to that of the trans-mitted shock wave are plotted in Figure 23 e peakpressure of the reflected shock wave is the difference betweenthe measured pressure P1 near the surface of the outer shelland the incident pressure P0 in free field

Obviously with the increase of the thickness no matterwhat the outer shell is backed to the ratios increase and tendto be slow when the thickness exceeds to some extents for theair-backed case e reason for this phenomenon is that thepeak pressure P2 of the transmission wave decreases dras-tically with the increase of shell thickness (Figures 16 and18) Another feature is that the ratios of the shell backed toair are much larger than those of the shell backed to waterat is the reflection proportion is dominant for the air-backed case is can be explained by the fact which can befound in Section 34 that the peak pressure P2 of the air-backed case is smaller than that of the water-backed case fortwo orders of magnitude

Figure 24 shows the peak pressure ratios λ2 P3P1 atthe measuring points 1 and 3 versus different outer shellthicknesses Generally the ratios decrease with the increaseof the shell thickness no matter what media 1 and 2 are filledwith It indicates the reflection proportion increase as theshell thickens In addition the ratios of the water-backedcases (water-water case and water-air case) are obviouslylarger than those of the air-backed cases (air-air case and air-water case) which almost coincide with each other eseaccord well with the analysis in Sections 33 and 34

After the directive wave propagating over the outer shellthe transmitted wave arrives at the inner shell which can beregarded as a directive wave producing a new charge ie theequivalent charge mass me at is to say the effect of thetransmitted wave on the inner shell is to some extentequivalent to that of a new charge on the inner shell Withthe aid of the analysis in Section 33 me can be transformedfrom a free-field component of incident peak pressure on theinner shell namely P4 P3λr by Zamyshlyayev empiricalformula (6)

Table 8 presents the ratios of the equivalent charge massme to the actual charge mass mr e cases of the mediumbetween the two shells filled with water are considered andair-backed cases are absent because P3 is too small As thetable shows the equivalent charge mass for the inner shellcan be decreased about 75 if the outer shell thickness isover 02 times the charge radius With the increasingthickness the equivalent charge mass decreases sharply

e relationships among the incident reflected and trans-mitted waves are discussed

emedium between two hemispherical shells will affectthe peak pressure of the reflected wave generated by theouter shell slightly if the outer shell thickness is thicker thana certain level (here it is over 04 times the charge radius)e reflection coefficients of peak pressure and impulseincrease with the increase of shell thickness and decreaselinearly with the increase of detonation distance Besides thecavitation area caused by the reflected rarefaction wave nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

When the wave transmits over the outer shell a peakpressure called the transmitted peak occurs whatever themedium behind the outer shell is water or air It is worthmentioning that a second peak which is relatively comparedto the transmitted peak can be produced by the reflections ofthe inner shell and it will be larger than the transmitted peakif the outer shell thickness reaches a certain extent (here it isover 06 times the charge radius) for the water-water andwater-air casesemedium between the two shells has great

influences on the transmitted wave while the medium be-hind the inner shell has slight effects on the transmittedwave With the increase of the shell thickness the trans-mission coefficients of the shock wave decrease exponen-tially and increase linearly with the detonation distancewhatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air

For the same outer shell thickness the energy absorptionof the air-backed case is about two to three times that of thewater-backed case With the increasing thickness theequivalent charge mass decreases drastically e equivalentcharge mass for the inner shell can be decreased about 75 ifthe outer shell thickness is over 02 times the charge radius

e three-dimensional numerical model is establishedaccording to the layout of the experiment e water andTNTare also modeled by the Eulerian subgrid Note that theair in this numerical model can be ignored e steel ismodeled by the Lagrangian subgrid and its density is7830 kgm3 e JohnsonndashCook strength and fracture pa-rameters for the steel are listed in Tables 4 and 5 (found in[46]) e smallest element size of the Eulerian mesh is5mm and it is 15mm for the Lagrangian mesh e Eulerdomain consists of about 38 million cells and the La-grangian domain contains 570000 cells

e displacement and velocity time histories calculated bythe CEL method are compared with the experimental results inFigure 8 It is not hard to see from Figure 8 that they are in goodaccordance especially the displacement time histories ere-fore the CEL method can simulate the FSI process well and itcan predict accurately the shock wave propagation in thecomplex model

3 Results and Discussion

31 Numerical Model e two-dimensional axisymmetricnumerical model of a double-layer hemispherical shellsubjected to underwater explosion is established to in-vestigate the propagation characteristics of the shock wave inmultilayer media as plotted in Figure 9e outer shell has aradius of R1 and a thickness of d1 while the inner shell has aradius of R2 and a thickness of d2 e parameters related todistance are normalized by the charge radius R0 namelyR1 R1R0 20 d1 d1R0 R2 R2R0 17 d2 d2R0and r RR0 10minus16 e thickness of the outer shell ischanged to test the effects so d1 01minus08 are selected with aconstant of d2 04 e mass of the spherical TNT chargethe charge radius R0 and the size of the Eulerian domain arethe same as those of the free-field model in Section 23 emeasuring points 1 and 3 are located near the outside surfaceof the outer shell and the inner shell respectively emeasuring point 2 is located near the inside of the outershell and the distance from point 2 to the outer shell isd 02R0 e shell structure is fixed around the boundaryand the transmitting condition is enforced around the fluiddomain so as to overcome the nonphysical reflection eparameters related to time hereinafter are normalized by thetime decay constant θ when r 10 in equation (8)

Medium 1 and medium 2 are water or air e materialparameters of water and charge are the same as those in thefree-field model Air is modeled by the ideal gas equation ofstate which can be written as p ρρ0((cminus 1))e where thespecific heat ratio c is 14 the initial density of air ρ0 is1225 kgm3 and the specific energy e is 2534 kJm3 [25]e density of steel is 7830 kgm3 [25] Note that theJohnsonndashCook strength parameters listed in Table 6 [25] forthe steel are different from those of the experiment in Section23 e element size for the Eulerian part is also 5mm the

same as that of the free-field model and more than fourelements in the thickness direction are discretized for theLagrangian part us the Eulerian domain contains about100000 cells and the number of Lagrangian cells rangesfrom 4230 to 8940 due to different outer shell thicknesses

32 Shock Wave Propagation Process Figure 10 shows theshock wave propagation process for the case of media 1 and2 filled with water and air respectively at the detonationdistance r 10 Several typical instants during the processare presented Obviously they show a similar process afterthe charge detonation and a spherical shock wave prop-agates to the outer shell surface (Figure 10(a)) when thewave arrives at the outer shell whose other side is backed towater it is reflected and transmitted by the shell as plottedin Figure 10(b) (the left column) Accordingly when thewave arrives at the outer shell whose other side is backed toair there exists a rarefaction wave reflected which travelsbackwards in water Due to the much lower impedance ofthe air the transmitted wave is weaker than the reflectedwave erefore Figure 10(b) (the right column) cannotrecognize the transmitted wave in the air-backed casewhen the transmitted shock wave reaches the inner shellwhose other side is backed to water the shock wave isreflected and transmitted over the shell again inFigure 10(c) (the left column) Cavitation occurs near theouter shell in the air-backed case as shown in Figure 10(c)(the right column) Also the pressure of the reflected andtransmitted waves on the inner shell in the water-backedcase is obviously larger than that in the air-backed caseLater the wave reflected from the inner shell propagates tothe outer shell and then it is reflected and transmittedagain Due to the complex superposition of the incidentwave the reflected wave and the transmitted wave thepressure becomes very complicated (Figure 10(d) (the leftcolumn)) At the same time the cavitation region in the air-backed case is further expanding

On the whole because of the severe mismatch of theimpedance between different media the intensity of thetransmitted wave of the shells backed to water is larger thanthat of the shells backed to air and the cavitation region nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

33 ShockWaveReflection Figure 11 shows the time historyof the shock wave pressure at point 1 e outer shell isbacked to water in case a and to air in case b Meanwhiledifferent thicknesses of the outer shell are also taken intoaccount and the detonation distance r is 10 Note thatmedium 2 behind the inner shell has a little effect on thereflected pressure near the outer shell As the results show ifd1 gt 04 with the increase of the outer shell thickness thepressure of the reflected wave tends to be steady in bothcases By comparing the above two cases it can be seen thatthe peak pressure of the reflected wave caused by the water-backed shell is larger than that of the air-backed case but thelatter tends to be consistent with the former in value ifd1 ge 04 What is more the pressure fluctuates more vio-lently for the air-backed case

is can be explained from the perspective of wavepropagations e first interface for the wave arrival is thesame for the two cases namely the interface between thewater and the outside of the outer shell erefore the re-flected wave pressure at this interface should be equal in bothcases However at the next interface the shock wave trans-mits from the inside of the outer shell to the water in case awhile from the inside to the air in case b Because the acousticimpedances of water and air are much lower than that of steelthere is a rarefaction wave reflected at this interface [47ndash51]erefore the intensity of the incident shock wave isunloaded Moreover the acoustic impedance of air is lowerthan that of water the unloading effect in case a is less seriousthan that in case b so the peak pressure of the reflected wavein case a is larger than that in case b e stiffness of the outershell however is improved with the increase of shell thick-ness Hence the intensity of the reflected wave in these twocases is gradually enhanced To sum up if the outer shellthickness d1 ge 04 the medium behind the outer shell willaffect the peak pressure of the reflected wave slightly

e reflection coefficient of shock wave pressure is de-fined as λr P1P0 where P1 is the peak pressure of thereflected wave at point 1 and P0 is the peak pressure at thesame distance in the free-field underwater explosion modelIn the present work if the detonation distance is far enoughthe numerical model can be regarded as a one-dimensionalmodel Based on Taylorrsquos assumptions [6] we can obtain

P1 P0 + Pr minus ρcv where Pr is the pressure of the reflectedwave and ρcv is the pressure of the rarefaction wave pro-duced by the motion of the structure ρ is the density ofwater c is the sound speed of water and v is the velocity ofthe outer shell If the perfect reflection of the incident waveoccurs [52 53] the pressure of the reflected wave would readPr P0 erefore P1 should satisfy P1 2P0 minus ρcv theo-retically And then the reflection coefficient holdsλr P1P0 2minus ρcvP0

Figure 12 illustrates the reflection coefficients of theshock wave varying with the thickness of the outer shell atthe distance r 10 Obviously the reflection coefficientsincrease with the increase of shell thickness but the trendgradually slows down for the two cases Moreover thecoefficients of the air-backed case are almost the same asthose of the water-backed case if d1 ge 04 e reflectioncoefficients exceed 1 no matter what the medium is filledwith at the back of the outer shell It means that thepresence of the outer shell enhances the peak pressure atpoint 1

If the thickness d1 04 the shock wave reflection co-efficients varying with the distance r in these two cases areplotted in Figure 13 e coefficients decrease with the in-crease of detonation distance as shown in Figure 13 erelationship between the reflection coefficients and thedetonation distance is approximately linear for these twocases In the present work we can recast the Zamyshlyayevempirical formula ie equation (6) as P0 k(1r)

α wherek and α are the ratio parameter and exponent parameterrespectively So a relation between the reflection coefficientλr and the distance r can be obtained asλr P1P0 2minus (ρcvk)rα As described in the literature[54] the rarefaction wave (ie ρcv) can be neglected at theearly stage of shock wave impinging on the absolutely rigidstructure For the elastic shell if we extract the velocities ofthe outer shell near point 1 from numerical results listed inTable 7 we can find these velocities are positive for thesecases So the rarefaction wave cannot be neglected In thiscase the reflection coefficient of peak pressure varying withthe distance r can be obtained from the numerical simu-lation as shown in Figure 13 One should notice that thedecreasing trend of the coefficient is only suitable for thecases of close distances (ie 10le rle 16)

e impulse reflection coefficient can be defined asIr I1I0 where I1 is the pressure impulse at point 1 and I0is the pressure impulse at the same distance in the free-fieldunderwater explosion model Figure 14 shows the impulsereflection coefficients varying with shell thickness in thewater-backed case and air-backed case at the detonationdistance r 10 e impulse reflection coefficients increasewith the increase of shell thickness and the tendency be-comes gradually slow If d1 lt 04 the impulse reflectioncoefficients of the air-backed case will be smaller than thoseof the water-backed case because the deformation of theouter shell in the air-backed case is more serious than that inthe water-backed case If the thickness d1 ge 04 the co-efficients of the air-backed case are larger than those of thewater-backed case Under this circumstance the de-formation of the outer shell is not the principal factor

influencing impulse since the stiffness of the outer shell ishigh enough e reason for this phenomenon is that theincident wave transmits over the outer shell in the water-backed case while the incident wave is mainly reflected inthe air-backed case because of the impedance differencebetween water and air

If the thickness d1 04 the impulse reflection co-efficients varying with different detonation distances in thesetwo cases are plotted in Figure 15 e coefficients ap-proximately decrease linearly with the increase of detonationdistance whatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air Itshould be noticed that Ir of the air-backed case changesfaster than that of the water-backed case and varies in a widerange which may be due to the fact that complex super-position of the wave system between the outer shell and the

inner shell affects seriously the pressure of point 1 aftert 709θ found in Figure 10

34 Shock Wave Transmission When the shock wavetransmits over the outer shell to the inner shell the peakpressure and the energy of the shock wave gradually at-tenuate In Figure 16 the pressure histories of the trans-mitted shock wave for different shell thicknesses arepresented Medium 1 between the two shells and medium 2behind the inner shell are water or air respectively edetonation distance r is 10 In Figure 16(a) medium 1 andmedium 2 are both water (noted as water-water) whilemedium 1 is water and medium 2 is air (noted as water-air)in Figure 16(b) Obviously when the wave transmits over the

outer shell a peak pressure called the transmitted peakoccurs in these two cases and then it attenuates quicklyWith the attenuation of the pressure the waves reflected bythe outer and inner surfaces of the inner shell reach point 2at about t 630θ as shown in Figure 17 Owing to thesuperposition of the transmitted wave and the reflectedwave it causes the pressure to rise and generates a secondpeak pressure called the reflected peak which might have asecond impact on the shell (Figures 16(a) and 16(b)) In

addition both the peaks decrease with the increase of theouter shell thickness It is worth noting that the reflectedpeak can be larger than the transmitted peak if d1 ge 06 Itindicates that the reflected wave produced by the innersurface of the outer shell plays a leading role under thiscircumstance

Media 1 and 2 are both air (noted as air-air) inFigure 16(c) while medium 1 is air and medium 2 is water(noted as air-water) in Figure 16(d) e peak pressures ofthe transmitted shock wave at point 2 are almost the same atthe same shell thickness for both the cases while they are

about 1330 times that of the water-water case It may be dueto the lower impedance of air which is about 15000 timesthat of the water If the shell thickness d1 02 in these twocases there are no values in pressure history curves when thetime exceeds 946θ which is due to the fact that the outershell after deformation is over the position of the measuringpoint 2 With the increase of the shell thickness the pressureattenuates gradually Different from the water-water case orwater-air case the second peak arrives later (at aboutt 1577θ) which may be due to the strong impedancemismatch Also the pressure time histories show no

differences for medium 2 filled with water or air behind theinner shell

As seen in Figures 16(a)ndash16(d) it can be found thatmedium 1 has a great influence on the pressure of thetransmitted wave On the contrary medium 2 behind theinner shell has few effects on the transmitted pressure

e transmission coefficient λt P2P0 can be defined asthe ratio of the peak pressure P2 of the transmitted wave atpoint 2 ie the first peak in Figure 16 to the peak pressureP0 of the incident shock wave in free field e transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave varying with different shellthicknesses are plotted in Figure 18 As described in theanalysis above medium 2 behind the inner shell has littleeffect on the peak pressure of the transmitted shock waveerefore the cases in which medium 2 is water whilemedium 1 is water or air are hereinafter taken for examplesWith the increase of the shell thickness the transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave decrease exponentially for thetwo cases Although the peak pressure P2 of the air-backedcase is much smaller than that of the water-backed case thetrend of transmission coefficients varying with different shellthicknesses is similar to that of the water-backed case

Taking the thickness d1 04 for example the curves ofthe transmission coefficients varying with different deto-nation distances can be plotted in Figure 19 Unlike

Figure 13 with the increase of the detonation distance thetransmission coefficients have a trend of increase by degreese difference may be because the peak pressure P2 is af-fected by the inner shell and the outer shell together whileP1 is mainly affected by the outer shell although the peakpressure P1 and P2 decrease as the detonation distanceincreases

e total energy released by the TNT is 2703 kJ att 75θ and the proportion of the energy absorbed by theouter shell accounting for the total energy is plotted inFigure 20 Because the TNTmass is quite small and the shellhas not been destroyed the energy absorbed by the outershell is less With the increase of shell thickness the energyabsorption proportion increases generally Another featureis that the proportion of the energy absorbed by the outershell can be up to 2 for the air-backed case while about 1for the water-backed case when the shell thickness d1 rangesfrom 01 to 08 For the same shell thickness the energyabsorption of the air-backed case is two to three times that ofthe water-backed case is may attribute to the largerdeformation of the shell in the air-backed case

Figure 21 shows the proportion of the energy transmittedover the outer shell versus different thicknesses etransmission energy gradually decreases with the increase ofshell thickness for the two cases For the same shell

thickness the transmission energy of the air-backed shell ismuch smaller than that of the water-backed shell whichcoincides with the above results in Figure 18 at is thetransmission coefficient λt of the air-backed case is muchsmaller than that of the water-backed case

Figure 22 shows the Mises stress contours of the outerand inner shells for the case of the outer shell thicknessd1 04 It can be seen that if medium 1 between the two

shells is air the maximum stress of the shell will be about 15times that of the water-backed shell and there are almost nostresses in the inner shell erefore it can be concluded thatif the medium is filled with air between two shells the innershell is prevented from serious impact

Obviously with the increase of the thickness no matterwhat the outer shell is backed to the ratios increase and tendto be slow when the thickness exceeds to some extents for theair-backed case e reason for this phenomenon is that thepeak pressure P2 of the transmission wave decreases dras-tically with the increase of shell thickness (Figures 16 and18) Another feature is that the ratios of the shell backed toair are much larger than those of the shell backed to waterat is the reflection proportion is dominant for the air-backed case is can be explained by the fact which can befound in Section 34 that the peak pressure P2 of the air-backed case is smaller than that of the water-backed case fortwo orders of magnitude

Figure 24 shows the peak pressure ratios λ2 P3P1 atthe measuring points 1 and 3 versus different outer shellthicknesses Generally the ratios decrease with the increaseof the shell thickness no matter what media 1 and 2 are filledwith It indicates the reflection proportion increase as theshell thickens In addition the ratios of the water-backedcases (water-water case and water-air case) are obviouslylarger than those of the air-backed cases (air-air case and air-water case) which almost coincide with each other eseaccord well with the analysis in Sections 33 and 34

After the directive wave propagating over the outer shellthe transmitted wave arrives at the inner shell which can beregarded as a directive wave producing a new charge ie theequivalent charge mass me at is to say the effect of thetransmitted wave on the inner shell is to some extentequivalent to that of a new charge on the inner shell Withthe aid of the analysis in Section 33 me can be transformedfrom a free-field component of incident peak pressure on theinner shell namely P4 P3λr by Zamyshlyayev empiricalformula (6)

Table 8 presents the ratios of the equivalent charge massme to the actual charge mass mr e cases of the mediumbetween the two shells filled with water are considered andair-backed cases are absent because P3 is too small As thetable shows the equivalent charge mass for the inner shellcan be decreased about 75 if the outer shell thickness isover 02 times the charge radius With the increasingthickness the equivalent charge mass decreases sharply

e relationships among the incident reflected and trans-mitted waves are discussed

emedium between two hemispherical shells will affectthe peak pressure of the reflected wave generated by theouter shell slightly if the outer shell thickness is thicker thana certain level (here it is over 04 times the charge radius)e reflection coefficients of peak pressure and impulseincrease with the increase of shell thickness and decreaselinearly with the increase of detonation distance Besides thecavitation area caused by the reflected rarefaction wave nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

When the wave transmits over the outer shell a peakpressure called the transmitted peak occurs whatever themedium behind the outer shell is water or air It is worthmentioning that a second peak which is relatively comparedto the transmitted peak can be produced by the reflections ofthe inner shell and it will be larger than the transmitted peakif the outer shell thickness reaches a certain extent (here it isover 06 times the charge radius) for the water-water andwater-air casesemedium between the two shells has great

influences on the transmitted wave while the medium be-hind the inner shell has slight effects on the transmittedwave With the increase of the shell thickness the trans-mission coefficients of the shock wave decrease exponen-tially and increase linearly with the detonation distancewhatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air

For the same outer shell thickness the energy absorptionof the air-backed case is about two to three times that of thewater-backed case With the increasing thickness theequivalent charge mass decreases drastically e equivalentcharge mass for the inner shell can be decreased about 75 ifthe outer shell thickness is over 02 times the charge radius

from the axis to the plate is about four times the charge radiusR0 namely R 4R0 e experimental layout is illustrated inFigure 6 Two measuring points (D1 andD2) are placed on theside of the plate to record the displacement and velocity(Figure 7)

e three-dimensional numerical model is establishedaccording to the layout of the experiment e water andTNTare also modeled by the Eulerian subgrid Note that theair in this numerical model can be ignored e steel ismodeled by the Lagrangian subgrid and its density is7830 kgm3 e JohnsonndashCook strength and fracture pa-rameters for the steel are listed in Tables 4 and 5 (found in[46]) e smallest element size of the Eulerian mesh is5mm and it is 15mm for the Lagrangian mesh e Eulerdomain consists of about 38 million cells and the La-grangian domain contains 570000 cells

e displacement and velocity time histories calculated bythe CEL method are compared with the experimental results inFigure 8 It is not hard to see from Figure 8 that they are in goodaccordance especially the displacement time histories ere-fore the CEL method can simulate the FSI process well and itcan predict accurately the shock wave propagation in thecomplex model

3 Results and Discussion

31 Numerical Model e two-dimensional axisymmetricnumerical model of a double-layer hemispherical shellsubjected to underwater explosion is established to in-vestigate the propagation characteristics of the shock wave inmultilayer media as plotted in Figure 9e outer shell has aradius of R1 and a thickness of d1 while the inner shell has aradius of R2 and a thickness of d2 e parameters related todistance are normalized by the charge radius R0 namelyR1 R1R0 20 d1 d1R0 R2 R2R0 17 d2 d2R0and r RR0 10minus16 e thickness of the outer shell ischanged to test the effects so d1 01minus08 are selected with aconstant of d2 04 e mass of the spherical TNT chargethe charge radius R0 and the size of the Eulerian domain arethe same as those of the free-field model in Section 23 emeasuring points 1 and 3 are located near the outside surfaceof the outer shell and the inner shell respectively emeasuring point 2 is located near the inside of the outershell and the distance from point 2 to the outer shell isd 02R0 e shell structure is fixed around the boundaryand the transmitting condition is enforced around the fluiddomain so as to overcome the nonphysical reflection eparameters related to time hereinafter are normalized by thetime decay constant θ when r 10 in equation (8)

Medium 1 and medium 2 are water or air e materialparameters of water and charge are the same as those in thefree-field model Air is modeled by the ideal gas equation ofstate which can be written as p ρρ0((cminus 1))e where thespecific heat ratio c is 14 the initial density of air ρ0 is1225 kgm3 and the specific energy e is 2534 kJm3 [25]e density of steel is 7830 kgm3 [25] Note that theJohnsonndashCook strength parameters listed in Table 6 [25] forthe steel are different from those of the experiment in Section23 e element size for the Eulerian part is also 5mm the

same as that of the free-field model and more than fourelements in the thickness direction are discretized for theLagrangian part us the Eulerian domain contains about100000 cells and the number of Lagrangian cells rangesfrom 4230 to 8940 due to different outer shell thicknesses

32 Shock Wave Propagation Process Figure 10 shows theshock wave propagation process for the case of media 1 and2 filled with water and air respectively at the detonationdistance r 10 Several typical instants during the processare presented Obviously they show a similar process afterthe charge detonation and a spherical shock wave prop-agates to the outer shell surface (Figure 10(a)) when thewave arrives at the outer shell whose other side is backed towater it is reflected and transmitted by the shell as plottedin Figure 10(b) (the left column) Accordingly when thewave arrives at the outer shell whose other side is backed toair there exists a rarefaction wave reflected which travelsbackwards in water Due to the much lower impedance ofthe air the transmitted wave is weaker than the reflectedwave erefore Figure 10(b) (the right column) cannotrecognize the transmitted wave in the air-backed casewhen the transmitted shock wave reaches the inner shellwhose other side is backed to water the shock wave isreflected and transmitted over the shell again inFigure 10(c) (the left column) Cavitation occurs near theouter shell in the air-backed case as shown in Figure 10(c)(the right column) Also the pressure of the reflected andtransmitted waves on the inner shell in the water-backedcase is obviously larger than that in the air-backed caseLater the wave reflected from the inner shell propagates tothe outer shell and then it is reflected and transmittedagain Due to the complex superposition of the incidentwave the reflected wave and the transmitted wave thepressure becomes very complicated (Figure 10(d) (the leftcolumn)) At the same time the cavitation region in the air-backed case is further expanding

On the whole because of the severe mismatch of theimpedance between different media the intensity of thetransmitted wave of the shells backed to water is larger thanthat of the shells backed to air and the cavitation region nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

33 ShockWaveReflection Figure 11 shows the time historyof the shock wave pressure at point 1 e outer shell isbacked to water in case a and to air in case b Meanwhiledifferent thicknesses of the outer shell are also taken intoaccount and the detonation distance r is 10 Note thatmedium 2 behind the inner shell has a little effect on thereflected pressure near the outer shell As the results show ifd1 gt 04 with the increase of the outer shell thickness thepressure of the reflected wave tends to be steady in bothcases By comparing the above two cases it can be seen thatthe peak pressure of the reflected wave caused by the water-backed shell is larger than that of the air-backed case but thelatter tends to be consistent with the former in value ifd1 ge 04 What is more the pressure fluctuates more vio-lently for the air-backed case

is can be explained from the perspective of wavepropagations e first interface for the wave arrival is thesame for the two cases namely the interface between thewater and the outside of the outer shell erefore the re-flected wave pressure at this interface should be equal in bothcases However at the next interface the shock wave trans-mits from the inside of the outer shell to the water in case awhile from the inside to the air in case b Because the acousticimpedances of water and air are much lower than that of steelthere is a rarefaction wave reflected at this interface [47ndash51]erefore the intensity of the incident shock wave isunloaded Moreover the acoustic impedance of air is lowerthan that of water the unloading effect in case a is less seriousthan that in case b so the peak pressure of the reflected wavein case a is larger than that in case b e stiffness of the outershell however is improved with the increase of shell thick-ness Hence the intensity of the reflected wave in these twocases is gradually enhanced To sum up if the outer shellthickness d1 ge 04 the medium behind the outer shell willaffect the peak pressure of the reflected wave slightly

e reflection coefficient of shock wave pressure is de-fined as λr P1P0 where P1 is the peak pressure of thereflected wave at point 1 and P0 is the peak pressure at thesame distance in the free-field underwater explosion modelIn the present work if the detonation distance is far enoughthe numerical model can be regarded as a one-dimensionalmodel Based on Taylorrsquos assumptions [6] we can obtain

P1 P0 + Pr minus ρcv where Pr is the pressure of the reflectedwave and ρcv is the pressure of the rarefaction wave pro-duced by the motion of the structure ρ is the density ofwater c is the sound speed of water and v is the velocity ofthe outer shell If the perfect reflection of the incident waveoccurs [52 53] the pressure of the reflected wave would readPr P0 erefore P1 should satisfy P1 2P0 minus ρcv theo-retically And then the reflection coefficient holdsλr P1P0 2minus ρcvP0

Figure 12 illustrates the reflection coefficients of theshock wave varying with the thickness of the outer shell atthe distance r 10 Obviously the reflection coefficientsincrease with the increase of shell thickness but the trendgradually slows down for the two cases Moreover thecoefficients of the air-backed case are almost the same asthose of the water-backed case if d1 ge 04 e reflectioncoefficients exceed 1 no matter what the medium is filledwith at the back of the outer shell It means that thepresence of the outer shell enhances the peak pressure atpoint 1

If the thickness d1 04 the shock wave reflection co-efficients varying with the distance r in these two cases areplotted in Figure 13 e coefficients decrease with the in-crease of detonation distance as shown in Figure 13 erelationship between the reflection coefficients and thedetonation distance is approximately linear for these twocases In the present work we can recast the Zamyshlyayevempirical formula ie equation (6) as P0 k(1r)

α wherek and α are the ratio parameter and exponent parameterrespectively So a relation between the reflection coefficientλr and the distance r can be obtained asλr P1P0 2minus (ρcvk)rα As described in the literature[54] the rarefaction wave (ie ρcv) can be neglected at theearly stage of shock wave impinging on the absolutely rigidstructure For the elastic shell if we extract the velocities ofthe outer shell near point 1 from numerical results listed inTable 7 we can find these velocities are positive for thesecases So the rarefaction wave cannot be neglected In thiscase the reflection coefficient of peak pressure varying withthe distance r can be obtained from the numerical simu-lation as shown in Figure 13 One should notice that thedecreasing trend of the coefficient is only suitable for thecases of close distances (ie 10le rle 16)

e impulse reflection coefficient can be defined asIr I1I0 where I1 is the pressure impulse at point 1 and I0is the pressure impulse at the same distance in the free-fieldunderwater explosion model Figure 14 shows the impulsereflection coefficients varying with shell thickness in thewater-backed case and air-backed case at the detonationdistance r 10 e impulse reflection coefficients increasewith the increase of shell thickness and the tendency be-comes gradually slow If d1 lt 04 the impulse reflectioncoefficients of the air-backed case will be smaller than thoseof the water-backed case because the deformation of theouter shell in the air-backed case is more serious than that inthe water-backed case If the thickness d1 ge 04 the co-efficients of the air-backed case are larger than those of thewater-backed case Under this circumstance the de-formation of the outer shell is not the principal factor

influencing impulse since the stiffness of the outer shell ishigh enough e reason for this phenomenon is that theincident wave transmits over the outer shell in the water-backed case while the incident wave is mainly reflected inthe air-backed case because of the impedance differencebetween water and air

If the thickness d1 04 the impulse reflection co-efficients varying with different detonation distances in thesetwo cases are plotted in Figure 15 e coefficients ap-proximately decrease linearly with the increase of detonationdistance whatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air Itshould be noticed that Ir of the air-backed case changesfaster than that of the water-backed case and varies in a widerange which may be due to the fact that complex super-position of the wave system between the outer shell and the

inner shell affects seriously the pressure of point 1 aftert 709θ found in Figure 10

addition both the peaks decrease with the increase of theouter shell thickness It is worth noting that the reflectedpeak can be larger than the transmitted peak if d1 ge 06 Itindicates that the reflected wave produced by the innersurface of the outer shell plays a leading role under thiscircumstance

Media 1 and 2 are both air (noted as air-air) inFigure 16(c) while medium 1 is air and medium 2 is water(noted as air-water) in Figure 16(d) e peak pressures ofthe transmitted shock wave at point 2 are almost the same atthe same shell thickness for both the cases while they are

about 1330 times that of the water-water case It may be dueto the lower impedance of air which is about 15000 timesthat of the water If the shell thickness d1 02 in these twocases there are no values in pressure history curves when thetime exceeds 946θ which is due to the fact that the outershell after deformation is over the position of the measuringpoint 2 With the increase of the shell thickness the pressureattenuates gradually Different from the water-water case orwater-air case the second peak arrives later (at aboutt 1577θ) which may be due to the strong impedancemismatch Also the pressure time histories show no

differences for medium 2 filled with water or air behind theinner shell

As seen in Figures 16(a)ndash16(d) it can be found thatmedium 1 has a great influence on the pressure of thetransmitted wave On the contrary medium 2 behind theinner shell has few effects on the transmitted pressure

e transmission coefficient λt P2P0 can be defined asthe ratio of the peak pressure P2 of the transmitted wave atpoint 2 ie the first peak in Figure 16 to the peak pressureP0 of the incident shock wave in free field e transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave varying with different shellthicknesses are plotted in Figure 18 As described in theanalysis above medium 2 behind the inner shell has littleeffect on the peak pressure of the transmitted shock waveerefore the cases in which medium 2 is water whilemedium 1 is water or air are hereinafter taken for examplesWith the increase of the shell thickness the transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave decrease exponentially for thetwo cases Although the peak pressure P2 of the air-backedcase is much smaller than that of the water-backed case thetrend of transmission coefficients varying with different shellthicknesses is similar to that of the water-backed case

Taking the thickness d1 04 for example the curves ofthe transmission coefficients varying with different deto-nation distances can be plotted in Figure 19 Unlike

Figure 13 with the increase of the detonation distance thetransmission coefficients have a trend of increase by degreese difference may be because the peak pressure P2 is af-fected by the inner shell and the outer shell together whileP1 is mainly affected by the outer shell although the peakpressure P1 and P2 decrease as the detonation distanceincreases

e total energy released by the TNT is 2703 kJ att 75θ and the proportion of the energy absorbed by theouter shell accounting for the total energy is plotted inFigure 20 Because the TNTmass is quite small and the shellhas not been destroyed the energy absorbed by the outershell is less With the increase of shell thickness the energyabsorption proportion increases generally Another featureis that the proportion of the energy absorbed by the outershell can be up to 2 for the air-backed case while about 1for the water-backed case when the shell thickness d1 rangesfrom 01 to 08 For the same shell thickness the energyabsorption of the air-backed case is two to three times that ofthe water-backed case is may attribute to the largerdeformation of the shell in the air-backed case

Figure 21 shows the proportion of the energy transmittedover the outer shell versus different thicknesses etransmission energy gradually decreases with the increase ofshell thickness for the two cases For the same shell

thickness the transmission energy of the air-backed shell ismuch smaller than that of the water-backed shell whichcoincides with the above results in Figure 18 at is thetransmission coefficient λt of the air-backed case is muchsmaller than that of the water-backed case

Figure 22 shows the Mises stress contours of the outerand inner shells for the case of the outer shell thicknessd1 04 It can be seen that if medium 1 between the two

shells is air the maximum stress of the shell will be about 15times that of the water-backed shell and there are almost nostresses in the inner shell erefore it can be concluded thatif the medium is filled with air between two shells the innershell is prevented from serious impact

the relationship between the reflection and transmission ofthe shock wave the ratios λ1 (P1 minusP0)P2 of the peakpressure of the reflected shock wave to that of the trans-mitted shock wave are plotted in Figure 23 e peakpressure of the reflected shock wave is the difference betweenthe measured pressure P1 near the surface of the outer shelland the incident pressure P0 in free field

Obviously with the increase of the thickness no matterwhat the outer shell is backed to the ratios increase and tendto be slow when the thickness exceeds to some extents for theair-backed case e reason for this phenomenon is that thepeak pressure P2 of the transmission wave decreases dras-tically with the increase of shell thickness (Figures 16 and18) Another feature is that the ratios of the shell backed toair are much larger than those of the shell backed to waterat is the reflection proportion is dominant for the air-backed case is can be explained by the fact which can befound in Section 34 that the peak pressure P2 of the air-backed case is smaller than that of the water-backed case fortwo orders of magnitude

Figure 24 shows the peak pressure ratios λ2 P3P1 atthe measuring points 1 and 3 versus different outer shellthicknesses Generally the ratios decrease with the increaseof the shell thickness no matter what media 1 and 2 are filledwith It indicates the reflection proportion increase as theshell thickens In addition the ratios of the water-backedcases (water-water case and water-air case) are obviouslylarger than those of the air-backed cases (air-air case and air-water case) which almost coincide with each other eseaccord well with the analysis in Sections 33 and 34

After the directive wave propagating over the outer shellthe transmitted wave arrives at the inner shell which can beregarded as a directive wave producing a new charge ie theequivalent charge mass me at is to say the effect of thetransmitted wave on the inner shell is to some extentequivalent to that of a new charge on the inner shell Withthe aid of the analysis in Section 33 me can be transformedfrom a free-field component of incident peak pressure on theinner shell namely P4 P3λr by Zamyshlyayev empiricalformula (6)

Table 8 presents the ratios of the equivalent charge massme to the actual charge mass mr e cases of the mediumbetween the two shells filled with water are considered andair-backed cases are absent because P3 is too small As thetable shows the equivalent charge mass for the inner shellcan be decreased about 75 if the outer shell thickness isover 02 times the charge radius With the increasingthickness the equivalent charge mass decreases sharply

e relationships among the incident reflected and trans-mitted waves are discussed

emedium between two hemispherical shells will affectthe peak pressure of the reflected wave generated by theouter shell slightly if the outer shell thickness is thicker thana certain level (here it is over 04 times the charge radius)e reflection coefficients of peak pressure and impulseincrease with the increase of shell thickness and decreaselinearly with the increase of detonation distance Besides thecavitation area caused by the reflected rarefaction wave nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

When the wave transmits over the outer shell a peakpressure called the transmitted peak occurs whatever themedium behind the outer shell is water or air It is worthmentioning that a second peak which is relatively comparedto the transmitted peak can be produced by the reflections ofthe inner shell and it will be larger than the transmitted peakif the outer shell thickness reaches a certain extent (here it isover 06 times the charge radius) for the water-water andwater-air casesemedium between the two shells has great

influences on the transmitted wave while the medium be-hind the inner shell has slight effects on the transmittedwave With the increase of the shell thickness the trans-mission coefficients of the shock wave decrease exponen-tially and increase linearly with the detonation distancewhatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air

For the same outer shell thickness the energy absorptionof the air-backed case is about two to three times that of thewater-backed case With the increasing thickness theequivalent charge mass decreases drastically e equivalentcharge mass for the inner shell can be decreased about 75 ifthe outer shell thickness is over 02 times the charge radius

is can be explained from the perspective of wavepropagations e first interface for the wave arrival is thesame for the two cases namely the interface between thewater and the outside of the outer shell erefore the re-flected wave pressure at this interface should be equal in bothcases However at the next interface the shock wave trans-mits from the inside of the outer shell to the water in case awhile from the inside to the air in case b Because the acousticimpedances of water and air are much lower than that of steelthere is a rarefaction wave reflected at this interface [47ndash51]erefore the intensity of the incident shock wave isunloaded Moreover the acoustic impedance of air is lowerthan that of water the unloading effect in case a is less seriousthan that in case b so the peak pressure of the reflected wavein case a is larger than that in case b e stiffness of the outershell however is improved with the increase of shell thick-ness Hence the intensity of the reflected wave in these twocases is gradually enhanced To sum up if the outer shellthickness d1 ge 04 the medium behind the outer shell willaffect the peak pressure of the reflected wave slightly

e reflection coefficient of shock wave pressure is de-fined as λr P1P0 where P1 is the peak pressure of thereflected wave at point 1 and P0 is the peak pressure at thesame distance in the free-field underwater explosion modelIn the present work if the detonation distance is far enoughthe numerical model can be regarded as a one-dimensionalmodel Based on Taylorrsquos assumptions [6] we can obtain

P1 P0 + Pr minus ρcv where Pr is the pressure of the reflectedwave and ρcv is the pressure of the rarefaction wave pro-duced by the motion of the structure ρ is the density ofwater c is the sound speed of water and v is the velocity ofthe outer shell If the perfect reflection of the incident waveoccurs [52 53] the pressure of the reflected wave would readPr P0 erefore P1 should satisfy P1 2P0 minus ρcv theo-retically And then the reflection coefficient holdsλr P1P0 2minus ρcvP0

Figure 12 illustrates the reflection coefficients of theshock wave varying with the thickness of the outer shell atthe distance r 10 Obviously the reflection coefficientsincrease with the increase of shell thickness but the trendgradually slows down for the two cases Moreover thecoefficients of the air-backed case are almost the same asthose of the water-backed case if d1 ge 04 e reflectioncoefficients exceed 1 no matter what the medium is filledwith at the back of the outer shell It means that thepresence of the outer shell enhances the peak pressure atpoint 1

If the thickness d1 04 the shock wave reflection co-efficients varying with the distance r in these two cases areplotted in Figure 13 e coefficients decrease with the in-crease of detonation distance as shown in Figure 13 erelationship between the reflection coefficients and thedetonation distance is approximately linear for these twocases In the present work we can recast the Zamyshlyayevempirical formula ie equation (6) as P0 k(1r)

α wherek and α are the ratio parameter and exponent parameterrespectively So a relation between the reflection coefficientλr and the distance r can be obtained asλr P1P0 2minus (ρcvk)rα As described in the literature[54] the rarefaction wave (ie ρcv) can be neglected at theearly stage of shock wave impinging on the absolutely rigidstructure For the elastic shell if we extract the velocities ofthe outer shell near point 1 from numerical results listed inTable 7 we can find these velocities are positive for thesecases So the rarefaction wave cannot be neglected In thiscase the reflection coefficient of peak pressure varying withthe distance r can be obtained from the numerical simu-lation as shown in Figure 13 One should notice that thedecreasing trend of the coefficient is only suitable for thecases of close distances (ie 10le rle 16)

e impulse reflection coefficient can be defined asIr I1I0 where I1 is the pressure impulse at point 1 and I0is the pressure impulse at the same distance in the free-fieldunderwater explosion model Figure 14 shows the impulsereflection coefficients varying with shell thickness in thewater-backed case and air-backed case at the detonationdistance r 10 e impulse reflection coefficients increasewith the increase of shell thickness and the tendency be-comes gradually slow If d1 lt 04 the impulse reflectioncoefficients of the air-backed case will be smaller than thoseof the water-backed case because the deformation of theouter shell in the air-backed case is more serious than that inthe water-backed case If the thickness d1 ge 04 the co-efficients of the air-backed case are larger than those of thewater-backed case Under this circumstance the de-formation of the outer shell is not the principal factor

influencing impulse since the stiffness of the outer shell ishigh enough e reason for this phenomenon is that theincident wave transmits over the outer shell in the water-backed case while the incident wave is mainly reflected inthe air-backed case because of the impedance differencebetween water and air

If the thickness d1 04 the impulse reflection co-efficients varying with different detonation distances in thesetwo cases are plotted in Figure 15 e coefficients ap-proximately decrease linearly with the increase of detonationdistance whatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air Itshould be noticed that Ir of the air-backed case changesfaster than that of the water-backed case and varies in a widerange which may be due to the fact that complex super-position of the wave system between the outer shell and the

inner shell affects seriously the pressure of point 1 aftert 709θ found in Figure 10

outer shell a peak pressure called the transmitted peakoccurs in these two cases and then it attenuates quicklyWith the attenuation of the pressure the waves reflected bythe outer and inner surfaces of the inner shell reach point 2at about t 630θ as shown in Figure 17 Owing to thesuperposition of the transmitted wave and the reflectedwave it causes the pressure to rise and generates a secondpeak pressure called the reflected peak which might have asecond impact on the shell (Figures 16(a) and 16(b)) In

addition both the peaks decrease with the increase of theouter shell thickness It is worth noting that the reflectedpeak can be larger than the transmitted peak if d1 ge 06 Itindicates that the reflected wave produced by the innersurface of the outer shell plays a leading role under thiscircumstance

Media 1 and 2 are both air (noted as air-air) inFigure 16(c) while medium 1 is air and medium 2 is water(noted as air-water) in Figure 16(d) e peak pressures ofthe transmitted shock wave at point 2 are almost the same atthe same shell thickness for both the cases while they are

about 1330 times that of the water-water case It may be dueto the lower impedance of air which is about 15000 timesthat of the water If the shell thickness d1 02 in these twocases there are no values in pressure history curves when thetime exceeds 946θ which is due to the fact that the outershell after deformation is over the position of the measuringpoint 2 With the increase of the shell thickness the pressureattenuates gradually Different from the water-water case orwater-air case the second peak arrives later (at aboutt 1577θ) which may be due to the strong impedancemismatch Also the pressure time histories show no

differences for medium 2 filled with water or air behind theinner shell

As seen in Figures 16(a)ndash16(d) it can be found thatmedium 1 has a great influence on the pressure of thetransmitted wave On the contrary medium 2 behind theinner shell has few effects on the transmitted pressure

e transmission coefficient λt P2P0 can be defined asthe ratio of the peak pressure P2 of the transmitted wave atpoint 2 ie the first peak in Figure 16 to the peak pressureP0 of the incident shock wave in free field e transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave varying with different shellthicknesses are plotted in Figure 18 As described in theanalysis above medium 2 behind the inner shell has littleeffect on the peak pressure of the transmitted shock waveerefore the cases in which medium 2 is water whilemedium 1 is water or air are hereinafter taken for examplesWith the increase of the shell thickness the transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave decrease exponentially for thetwo cases Although the peak pressure P2 of the air-backedcase is much smaller than that of the water-backed case thetrend of transmission coefficients varying with different shellthicknesses is similar to that of the water-backed case

Taking the thickness d1 04 for example the curves ofthe transmission coefficients varying with different deto-nation distances can be plotted in Figure 19 Unlike

Figure 13 with the increase of the detonation distance thetransmission coefficients have a trend of increase by degreese difference may be because the peak pressure P2 is af-fected by the inner shell and the outer shell together whileP1 is mainly affected by the outer shell although the peakpressure P1 and P2 decrease as the detonation distanceincreases

e total energy released by the TNT is 2703 kJ att 75θ and the proportion of the energy absorbed by theouter shell accounting for the total energy is plotted inFigure 20 Because the TNTmass is quite small and the shellhas not been destroyed the energy absorbed by the outershell is less With the increase of shell thickness the energyabsorption proportion increases generally Another featureis that the proportion of the energy absorbed by the outershell can be up to 2 for the air-backed case while about 1for the water-backed case when the shell thickness d1 rangesfrom 01 to 08 For the same shell thickness the energyabsorption of the air-backed case is two to three times that ofthe water-backed case is may attribute to the largerdeformation of the shell in the air-backed case

Figure 21 shows the proportion of the energy transmittedover the outer shell versus different thicknesses etransmission energy gradually decreases with the increase ofshell thickness for the two cases For the same shell

thickness the transmission energy of the air-backed shell ismuch smaller than that of the water-backed shell whichcoincides with the above results in Figure 18 at is thetransmission coefficient λt of the air-backed case is muchsmaller than that of the water-backed case

Figure 22 shows the Mises stress contours of the outerand inner shells for the case of the outer shell thicknessd1 04 It can be seen that if medium 1 between the two

shells is air the maximum stress of the shell will be about 15times that of the water-backed shell and there are almost nostresses in the inner shell erefore it can be concluded thatif the medium is filled with air between two shells the innershell is prevented from serious impact

the relationship between the reflection and transmission ofthe shock wave the ratios λ1 (P1 minusP0)P2 of the peakpressure of the reflected shock wave to that of the trans-mitted shock wave are plotted in Figure 23 e peakpressure of the reflected shock wave is the difference betweenthe measured pressure P1 near the surface of the outer shelland the incident pressure P0 in free field

Obviously with the increase of the thickness no matterwhat the outer shell is backed to the ratios increase and tendto be slow when the thickness exceeds to some extents for theair-backed case e reason for this phenomenon is that thepeak pressure P2 of the transmission wave decreases dras-tically with the increase of shell thickness (Figures 16 and18) Another feature is that the ratios of the shell backed toair are much larger than those of the shell backed to waterat is the reflection proportion is dominant for the air-backed case is can be explained by the fact which can befound in Section 34 that the peak pressure P2 of the air-backed case is smaller than that of the water-backed case fortwo orders of magnitude

Figure 24 shows the peak pressure ratios λ2 P3P1 atthe measuring points 1 and 3 versus different outer shellthicknesses Generally the ratios decrease with the increaseof the shell thickness no matter what media 1 and 2 are filledwith It indicates the reflection proportion increase as theshell thickens In addition the ratios of the water-backedcases (water-water case and water-air case) are obviouslylarger than those of the air-backed cases (air-air case and air-water case) which almost coincide with each other eseaccord well with the analysis in Sections 33 and 34

After the directive wave propagating over the outer shellthe transmitted wave arrives at the inner shell which can beregarded as a directive wave producing a new charge ie theequivalent charge mass me at is to say the effect of thetransmitted wave on the inner shell is to some extentequivalent to that of a new charge on the inner shell Withthe aid of the analysis in Section 33 me can be transformedfrom a free-field component of incident peak pressure on theinner shell namely P4 P3λr by Zamyshlyayev empiricalformula (6)

Table 8 presents the ratios of the equivalent charge massme to the actual charge mass mr e cases of the mediumbetween the two shells filled with water are considered andair-backed cases are absent because P3 is too small As thetable shows the equivalent charge mass for the inner shellcan be decreased about 75 if the outer shell thickness isover 02 times the charge radius With the increasingthickness the equivalent charge mass decreases sharply

When the wave transmits over the outer shell a peakpressure called the transmitted peak occurs whatever themedium behind the outer shell is water or air It is worthmentioning that a second peak which is relatively comparedto the transmitted peak can be produced by the reflections ofthe inner shell and it will be larger than the transmitted peakif the outer shell thickness reaches a certain extent (here it isover 06 times the charge radius) for the water-water andwater-air casesemedium between the two shells has great

influences on the transmitted wave while the medium be-hind the inner shell has slight effects on the transmittedwave With the increase of the shell thickness the trans-mission coefficients of the shock wave decrease exponen-tially and increase linearly with the detonation distancewhatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air

For the same outer shell thickness the energy absorptionof the air-backed case is about two to three times that of thewater-backed case With the increasing thickness theequivalent charge mass decreases drastically e equivalentcharge mass for the inner shell can be decreased about 75 ifthe outer shell thickness is over 02 times the charge radius

influencing impulse since the stiffness of the outer shell ishigh enough e reason for this phenomenon is that theincident wave transmits over the outer shell in the water-backed case while the incident wave is mainly reflected inthe air-backed case because of the impedance differencebetween water and air

If the thickness d1 04 the impulse reflection co-efficients varying with different detonation distances in thesetwo cases are plotted in Figure 15 e coefficients ap-proximately decrease linearly with the increase of detonationdistance whatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air Itshould be noticed that Ir of the air-backed case changesfaster than that of the water-backed case and varies in a widerange which may be due to the fact that complex super-position of the wave system between the outer shell and the

inner shell affects seriously the pressure of point 1 aftert 709θ found in Figure 10

outer shell a peak pressure called the transmitted peakoccurs in these two cases and then it attenuates quicklyWith the attenuation of the pressure the waves reflected bythe outer and inner surfaces of the inner shell reach point 2at about t 630θ as shown in Figure 17 Owing to thesuperposition of the transmitted wave and the reflectedwave it causes the pressure to rise and generates a secondpeak pressure called the reflected peak which might have asecond impact on the shell (Figures 16(a) and 16(b)) In

addition both the peaks decrease with the increase of theouter shell thickness It is worth noting that the reflectedpeak can be larger than the transmitted peak if d1 ge 06 Itindicates that the reflected wave produced by the innersurface of the outer shell plays a leading role under thiscircumstance

Media 1 and 2 are both air (noted as air-air) inFigure 16(c) while medium 1 is air and medium 2 is water(noted as air-water) in Figure 16(d) e peak pressures ofthe transmitted shock wave at point 2 are almost the same atthe same shell thickness for both the cases while they are

about 1330 times that of the water-water case It may be dueto the lower impedance of air which is about 15000 timesthat of the water If the shell thickness d1 02 in these twocases there are no values in pressure history curves when thetime exceeds 946θ which is due to the fact that the outershell after deformation is over the position of the measuringpoint 2 With the increase of the shell thickness the pressureattenuates gradually Different from the water-water case orwater-air case the second peak arrives later (at aboutt 1577θ) which may be due to the strong impedancemismatch Also the pressure time histories show no

differences for medium 2 filled with water or air behind theinner shell

As seen in Figures 16(a)ndash16(d) it can be found thatmedium 1 has a great influence on the pressure of thetransmitted wave On the contrary medium 2 behind theinner shell has few effects on the transmitted pressure

e transmission coefficient λt P2P0 can be defined asthe ratio of the peak pressure P2 of the transmitted wave atpoint 2 ie the first peak in Figure 16 to the peak pressureP0 of the incident shock wave in free field e transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave varying with different shellthicknesses are plotted in Figure 18 As described in theanalysis above medium 2 behind the inner shell has littleeffect on the peak pressure of the transmitted shock waveerefore the cases in which medium 2 is water whilemedium 1 is water or air are hereinafter taken for examplesWith the increase of the shell thickness the transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave decrease exponentially for thetwo cases Although the peak pressure P2 of the air-backedcase is much smaller than that of the water-backed case thetrend of transmission coefficients varying with different shellthicknesses is similar to that of the water-backed case

Taking the thickness d1 04 for example the curves ofthe transmission coefficients varying with different deto-nation distances can be plotted in Figure 19 Unlike

Figure 13 with the increase of the detonation distance thetransmission coefficients have a trend of increase by degreese difference may be because the peak pressure P2 is af-fected by the inner shell and the outer shell together whileP1 is mainly affected by the outer shell although the peakpressure P1 and P2 decrease as the detonation distanceincreases

e total energy released by the TNT is 2703 kJ att 75θ and the proportion of the energy absorbed by theouter shell accounting for the total energy is plotted inFigure 20 Because the TNTmass is quite small and the shellhas not been destroyed the energy absorbed by the outershell is less With the increase of shell thickness the energyabsorption proportion increases generally Another featureis that the proportion of the energy absorbed by the outershell can be up to 2 for the air-backed case while about 1for the water-backed case when the shell thickness d1 rangesfrom 01 to 08 For the same shell thickness the energyabsorption of the air-backed case is two to three times that ofthe water-backed case is may attribute to the largerdeformation of the shell in the air-backed case

Figure 21 shows the proportion of the energy transmittedover the outer shell versus different thicknesses etransmission energy gradually decreases with the increase ofshell thickness for the two cases For the same shell

thickness the transmission energy of the air-backed shell ismuch smaller than that of the water-backed shell whichcoincides with the above results in Figure 18 at is thetransmission coefficient λt of the air-backed case is muchsmaller than that of the water-backed case

Figure 22 shows the Mises stress contours of the outerand inner shells for the case of the outer shell thicknessd1 04 It can be seen that if medium 1 between the two

shells is air the maximum stress of the shell will be about 15times that of the water-backed shell and there are almost nostresses in the inner shell erefore it can be concluded thatif the medium is filled with air between two shells the innershell is prevented from serious impact

the relationship between the reflection and transmission ofthe shock wave the ratios λ1 (P1 minusP0)P2 of the peakpressure of the reflected shock wave to that of the trans-mitted shock wave are plotted in Figure 23 e peakpressure of the reflected shock wave is the difference betweenthe measured pressure P1 near the surface of the outer shelland the incident pressure P0 in free field

Obviously with the increase of the thickness no matterwhat the outer shell is backed to the ratios increase and tendto be slow when the thickness exceeds to some extents for theair-backed case e reason for this phenomenon is that thepeak pressure P2 of the transmission wave decreases dras-tically with the increase of shell thickness (Figures 16 and18) Another feature is that the ratios of the shell backed toair are much larger than those of the shell backed to waterat is the reflection proportion is dominant for the air-backed case is can be explained by the fact which can befound in Section 34 that the peak pressure P2 of the air-backed case is smaller than that of the water-backed case fortwo orders of magnitude

Figure 24 shows the peak pressure ratios λ2 P3P1 atthe measuring points 1 and 3 versus different outer shellthicknesses Generally the ratios decrease with the increaseof the shell thickness no matter what media 1 and 2 are filledwith It indicates the reflection proportion increase as theshell thickens In addition the ratios of the water-backedcases (water-water case and water-air case) are obviouslylarger than those of the air-backed cases (air-air case and air-water case) which almost coincide with each other eseaccord well with the analysis in Sections 33 and 34

After the directive wave propagating over the outer shellthe transmitted wave arrives at the inner shell which can beregarded as a directive wave producing a new charge ie theequivalent charge mass me at is to say the effect of thetransmitted wave on the inner shell is to some extentequivalent to that of a new charge on the inner shell Withthe aid of the analysis in Section 33 me can be transformedfrom a free-field component of incident peak pressure on theinner shell namely P4 P3λr by Zamyshlyayev empiricalformula (6)

Table 8 presents the ratios of the equivalent charge massme to the actual charge mass mr e cases of the mediumbetween the two shells filled with water are considered andair-backed cases are absent because P3 is too small As thetable shows the equivalent charge mass for the inner shellcan be decreased about 75 if the outer shell thickness isover 02 times the charge radius With the increasingthickness the equivalent charge mass decreases sharply

e relationships among the incident reflected and trans-mitted waves are discussed

emedium between two hemispherical shells will affectthe peak pressure of the reflected wave generated by theouter shell slightly if the outer shell thickness is thicker thana certain level (here it is over 04 times the charge radius)e reflection coefficients of peak pressure and impulseincrease with the increase of shell thickness and decreaselinearly with the increase of detonation distance Besides thecavitation area caused by the reflected rarefaction wave nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

When the wave transmits over the outer shell a peakpressure called the transmitted peak occurs whatever themedium behind the outer shell is water or air It is worthmentioning that a second peak which is relatively comparedto the transmitted peak can be produced by the reflections ofthe inner shell and it will be larger than the transmitted peakif the outer shell thickness reaches a certain extent (here it isover 06 times the charge radius) for the water-water andwater-air casesemedium between the two shells has great

influences on the transmitted wave while the medium be-hind the inner shell has slight effects on the transmittedwave With the increase of the shell thickness the trans-mission coefficients of the shock wave decrease exponen-tially and increase linearly with the detonation distancewhatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air

For the same outer shell thickness the energy absorptionof the air-backed case is about two to three times that of thewater-backed case With the increasing thickness theequivalent charge mass decreases drastically e equivalentcharge mass for the inner shell can be decreased about 75 ifthe outer shell thickness is over 02 times the charge radius

influencing impulse since the stiffness of the outer shell ishigh enough e reason for this phenomenon is that theincident wave transmits over the outer shell in the water-backed case while the incident wave is mainly reflected inthe air-backed case because of the impedance differencebetween water and air

If the thickness d1 04 the impulse reflection co-efficients varying with different detonation distances in thesetwo cases are plotted in Figure 15 e coefficients ap-proximately decrease linearly with the increase of detonationdistance whatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air Itshould be noticed that Ir of the air-backed case changesfaster than that of the water-backed case and varies in a widerange which may be due to the fact that complex super-position of the wave system between the outer shell and the

inner shell affects seriously the pressure of point 1 aftert 709θ found in Figure 10

outer shell a peak pressure called the transmitted peakoccurs in these two cases and then it attenuates quicklyWith the attenuation of the pressure the waves reflected bythe outer and inner surfaces of the inner shell reach point 2at about t 630θ as shown in Figure 17 Owing to thesuperposition of the transmitted wave and the reflectedwave it causes the pressure to rise and generates a secondpeak pressure called the reflected peak which might have asecond impact on the shell (Figures 16(a) and 16(b)) In

addition both the peaks decrease with the increase of theouter shell thickness It is worth noting that the reflectedpeak can be larger than the transmitted peak if d1 ge 06 Itindicates that the reflected wave produced by the innersurface of the outer shell plays a leading role under thiscircumstance

Media 1 and 2 are both air (noted as air-air) inFigure 16(c) while medium 1 is air and medium 2 is water(noted as air-water) in Figure 16(d) e peak pressures ofthe transmitted shock wave at point 2 are almost the same atthe same shell thickness for both the cases while they are

about 1330 times that of the water-water case It may be dueto the lower impedance of air which is about 15000 timesthat of the water If the shell thickness d1 02 in these twocases there are no values in pressure history curves when thetime exceeds 946θ which is due to the fact that the outershell after deformation is over the position of the measuringpoint 2 With the increase of the shell thickness the pressureattenuates gradually Different from the water-water case orwater-air case the second peak arrives later (at aboutt 1577θ) which may be due to the strong impedancemismatch Also the pressure time histories show no

differences for medium 2 filled with water or air behind theinner shell

As seen in Figures 16(a)ndash16(d) it can be found thatmedium 1 has a great influence on the pressure of thetransmitted wave On the contrary medium 2 behind theinner shell has few effects on the transmitted pressure

e transmission coefficient λt P2P0 can be defined asthe ratio of the peak pressure P2 of the transmitted wave atpoint 2 ie the first peak in Figure 16 to the peak pressureP0 of the incident shock wave in free field e transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave varying with different shellthicknesses are plotted in Figure 18 As described in theanalysis above medium 2 behind the inner shell has littleeffect on the peak pressure of the transmitted shock waveerefore the cases in which medium 2 is water whilemedium 1 is water or air are hereinafter taken for examplesWith the increase of the shell thickness the transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave decrease exponentially for thetwo cases Although the peak pressure P2 of the air-backedcase is much smaller than that of the water-backed case thetrend of transmission coefficients varying with different shellthicknesses is similar to that of the water-backed case

Taking the thickness d1 04 for example the curves ofthe transmission coefficients varying with different deto-nation distances can be plotted in Figure 19 Unlike

Figure 13 with the increase of the detonation distance thetransmission coefficients have a trend of increase by degreese difference may be because the peak pressure P2 is af-fected by the inner shell and the outer shell together whileP1 is mainly affected by the outer shell although the peakpressure P1 and P2 decrease as the detonation distanceincreases

e total energy released by the TNT is 2703 kJ att 75θ and the proportion of the energy absorbed by theouter shell accounting for the total energy is plotted inFigure 20 Because the TNTmass is quite small and the shellhas not been destroyed the energy absorbed by the outershell is less With the increase of shell thickness the energyabsorption proportion increases generally Another featureis that the proportion of the energy absorbed by the outershell can be up to 2 for the air-backed case while about 1for the water-backed case when the shell thickness d1 rangesfrom 01 to 08 For the same shell thickness the energyabsorption of the air-backed case is two to three times that ofthe water-backed case is may attribute to the largerdeformation of the shell in the air-backed case

Figure 21 shows the proportion of the energy transmittedover the outer shell versus different thicknesses etransmission energy gradually decreases with the increase ofshell thickness for the two cases For the same shell

thickness the transmission energy of the air-backed shell ismuch smaller than that of the water-backed shell whichcoincides with the above results in Figure 18 at is thetransmission coefficient λt of the air-backed case is muchsmaller than that of the water-backed case

Figure 22 shows the Mises stress contours of the outerand inner shells for the case of the outer shell thicknessd1 04 It can be seen that if medium 1 between the two

shells is air the maximum stress of the shell will be about 15times that of the water-backed shell and there are almost nostresses in the inner shell erefore it can be concluded thatif the medium is filled with air between two shells the innershell is prevented from serious impact

the relationship between the reflection and transmission ofthe shock wave the ratios λ1 (P1 minusP0)P2 of the peakpressure of the reflected shock wave to that of the trans-mitted shock wave are plotted in Figure 23 e peakpressure of the reflected shock wave is the difference betweenthe measured pressure P1 near the surface of the outer shelland the incident pressure P0 in free field

Obviously with the increase of the thickness no matterwhat the outer shell is backed to the ratios increase and tendto be slow when the thickness exceeds to some extents for theair-backed case e reason for this phenomenon is that thepeak pressure P2 of the transmission wave decreases dras-tically with the increase of shell thickness (Figures 16 and18) Another feature is that the ratios of the shell backed toair are much larger than those of the shell backed to waterat is the reflection proportion is dominant for the air-backed case is can be explained by the fact which can befound in Section 34 that the peak pressure P2 of the air-backed case is smaller than that of the water-backed case fortwo orders of magnitude

Figure 24 shows the peak pressure ratios λ2 P3P1 atthe measuring points 1 and 3 versus different outer shellthicknesses Generally the ratios decrease with the increaseof the shell thickness no matter what media 1 and 2 are filledwith It indicates the reflection proportion increase as theshell thickens In addition the ratios of the water-backedcases (water-water case and water-air case) are obviouslylarger than those of the air-backed cases (air-air case and air-water case) which almost coincide with each other eseaccord well with the analysis in Sections 33 and 34

After the directive wave propagating over the outer shellthe transmitted wave arrives at the inner shell which can beregarded as a directive wave producing a new charge ie theequivalent charge mass me at is to say the effect of thetransmitted wave on the inner shell is to some extentequivalent to that of a new charge on the inner shell Withthe aid of the analysis in Section 33 me can be transformedfrom a free-field component of incident peak pressure on theinner shell namely P4 P3λr by Zamyshlyayev empiricalformula (6)

Table 8 presents the ratios of the equivalent charge massme to the actual charge mass mr e cases of the mediumbetween the two shells filled with water are considered andair-backed cases are absent because P3 is too small As thetable shows the equivalent charge mass for the inner shellcan be decreased about 75 if the outer shell thickness isover 02 times the charge radius With the increasingthickness the equivalent charge mass decreases sharply

e relationships among the incident reflected and trans-mitted waves are discussed

emedium between two hemispherical shells will affectthe peak pressure of the reflected wave generated by theouter shell slightly if the outer shell thickness is thicker thana certain level (here it is over 04 times the charge radius)e reflection coefficients of peak pressure and impulseincrease with the increase of shell thickness and decreaselinearly with the increase of detonation distance Besides thecavitation area caused by the reflected rarefaction wave nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

When the wave transmits over the outer shell a peakpressure called the transmitted peak occurs whatever themedium behind the outer shell is water or air It is worthmentioning that a second peak which is relatively comparedto the transmitted peak can be produced by the reflections ofthe inner shell and it will be larger than the transmitted peakif the outer shell thickness reaches a certain extent (here it isover 06 times the charge radius) for the water-water andwater-air casesemedium between the two shells has great

influences on the transmitted wave while the medium be-hind the inner shell has slight effects on the transmittedwave With the increase of the shell thickness the trans-mission coefficients of the shock wave decrease exponen-tially and increase linearly with the detonation distancewhatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air

For the same outer shell thickness the energy absorptionof the air-backed case is about two to three times that of thewater-backed case With the increasing thickness theequivalent charge mass decreases drastically e equivalentcharge mass for the inner shell can be decreased about 75 ifthe outer shell thickness is over 02 times the charge radius

influencing impulse since the stiffness of the outer shell ishigh enough e reason for this phenomenon is that theincident wave transmits over the outer shell in the water-backed case while the incident wave is mainly reflected inthe air-backed case because of the impedance differencebetween water and air

If the thickness d1 04 the impulse reflection co-efficients varying with different detonation distances in thesetwo cases are plotted in Figure 15 e coefficients ap-proximately decrease linearly with the increase of detonationdistance whatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air Itshould be noticed that Ir of the air-backed case changesfaster than that of the water-backed case and varies in a widerange which may be due to the fact that complex super-position of the wave system between the outer shell and the

inner shell affects seriously the pressure of point 1 aftert 709θ found in Figure 10

addition both the peaks decrease with the increase of theouter shell thickness It is worth noting that the reflectedpeak can be larger than the transmitted peak if d1 ge 06 Itindicates that the reflected wave produced by the innersurface of the outer shell plays a leading role under thiscircumstance

Media 1 and 2 are both air (noted as air-air) inFigure 16(c) while medium 1 is air and medium 2 is water(noted as air-water) in Figure 16(d) e peak pressures ofthe transmitted shock wave at point 2 are almost the same atthe same shell thickness for both the cases while they are

about 1330 times that of the water-water case It may be dueto the lower impedance of air which is about 15000 timesthat of the water If the shell thickness d1 02 in these twocases there are no values in pressure history curves when thetime exceeds 946θ which is due to the fact that the outershell after deformation is over the position of the measuringpoint 2 With the increase of the shell thickness the pressureattenuates gradually Different from the water-water case orwater-air case the second peak arrives later (at aboutt 1577θ) which may be due to the strong impedancemismatch Also the pressure time histories show no

differences for medium 2 filled with water or air behind theinner shell

As seen in Figures 16(a)ndash16(d) it can be found thatmedium 1 has a great influence on the pressure of thetransmitted wave On the contrary medium 2 behind theinner shell has few effects on the transmitted pressure

e transmission coefficient λt P2P0 can be defined asthe ratio of the peak pressure P2 of the transmitted wave atpoint 2 ie the first peak in Figure 16 to the peak pressureP0 of the incident shock wave in free field e transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave varying with different shellthicknesses are plotted in Figure 18 As described in theanalysis above medium 2 behind the inner shell has littleeffect on the peak pressure of the transmitted shock waveerefore the cases in which medium 2 is water whilemedium 1 is water or air are hereinafter taken for examplesWith the increase of the shell thickness the transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave decrease exponentially for thetwo cases Although the peak pressure P2 of the air-backedcase is much smaller than that of the water-backed case thetrend of transmission coefficients varying with different shellthicknesses is similar to that of the water-backed case

Taking the thickness d1 04 for example the curves ofthe transmission coefficients varying with different deto-nation distances can be plotted in Figure 19 Unlike

Figure 13 with the increase of the detonation distance thetransmission coefficients have a trend of increase by degreese difference may be because the peak pressure P2 is af-fected by the inner shell and the outer shell together whileP1 is mainly affected by the outer shell although the peakpressure P1 and P2 decrease as the detonation distanceincreases

e total energy released by the TNT is 2703 kJ att 75θ and the proportion of the energy absorbed by theouter shell accounting for the total energy is plotted inFigure 20 Because the TNTmass is quite small and the shellhas not been destroyed the energy absorbed by the outershell is less With the increase of shell thickness the energyabsorption proportion increases generally Another featureis that the proportion of the energy absorbed by the outershell can be up to 2 for the air-backed case while about 1for the water-backed case when the shell thickness d1 rangesfrom 01 to 08 For the same shell thickness the energyabsorption of the air-backed case is two to three times that ofthe water-backed case is may attribute to the largerdeformation of the shell in the air-backed case

Figure 21 shows the proportion of the energy transmittedover the outer shell versus different thicknesses etransmission energy gradually decreases with the increase ofshell thickness for the two cases For the same shell

thickness the transmission energy of the air-backed shell ismuch smaller than that of the water-backed shell whichcoincides with the above results in Figure 18 at is thetransmission coefficient λt of the air-backed case is muchsmaller than that of the water-backed case

Figure 22 shows the Mises stress contours of the outerand inner shells for the case of the outer shell thicknessd1 04 It can be seen that if medium 1 between the two

shells is air the maximum stress of the shell will be about 15times that of the water-backed shell and there are almost nostresses in the inner shell erefore it can be concluded thatif the medium is filled with air between two shells the innershell is prevented from serious impact

the relationship between the reflection and transmission ofthe shock wave the ratios λ1 (P1 minusP0)P2 of the peakpressure of the reflected shock wave to that of the trans-mitted shock wave are plotted in Figure 23 e peakpressure of the reflected shock wave is the difference betweenthe measured pressure P1 near the surface of the outer shelland the incident pressure P0 in free field

Obviously with the increase of the thickness no matterwhat the outer shell is backed to the ratios increase and tendto be slow when the thickness exceeds to some extents for theair-backed case e reason for this phenomenon is that thepeak pressure P2 of the transmission wave decreases dras-tically with the increase of shell thickness (Figures 16 and18) Another feature is that the ratios of the shell backed toair are much larger than those of the shell backed to waterat is the reflection proportion is dominant for the air-backed case is can be explained by the fact which can befound in Section 34 that the peak pressure P2 of the air-backed case is smaller than that of the water-backed case fortwo orders of magnitude

Figure 24 shows the peak pressure ratios λ2 P3P1 atthe measuring points 1 and 3 versus different outer shellthicknesses Generally the ratios decrease with the increaseof the shell thickness no matter what media 1 and 2 are filledwith It indicates the reflection proportion increase as theshell thickens In addition the ratios of the water-backedcases (water-water case and water-air case) are obviouslylarger than those of the air-backed cases (air-air case and air-water case) which almost coincide with each other eseaccord well with the analysis in Sections 33 and 34

After the directive wave propagating over the outer shellthe transmitted wave arrives at the inner shell which can beregarded as a directive wave producing a new charge ie theequivalent charge mass me at is to say the effect of thetransmitted wave on the inner shell is to some extentequivalent to that of a new charge on the inner shell Withthe aid of the analysis in Section 33 me can be transformedfrom a free-field component of incident peak pressure on theinner shell namely P4 P3λr by Zamyshlyayev empiricalformula (6)

Table 8 presents the ratios of the equivalent charge massme to the actual charge mass mr e cases of the mediumbetween the two shells filled with water are considered andair-backed cases are absent because P3 is too small As thetable shows the equivalent charge mass for the inner shellcan be decreased about 75 if the outer shell thickness isover 02 times the charge radius With the increasingthickness the equivalent charge mass decreases sharply

e relationships among the incident reflected and trans-mitted waves are discussed

emedium between two hemispherical shells will affectthe peak pressure of the reflected wave generated by theouter shell slightly if the outer shell thickness is thicker thana certain level (here it is over 04 times the charge radius)e reflection coefficients of peak pressure and impulseincrease with the increase of shell thickness and decreaselinearly with the increase of detonation distance Besides thecavitation area caused by the reflected rarefaction wave nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

When the wave transmits over the outer shell a peakpressure called the transmitted peak occurs whatever themedium behind the outer shell is water or air It is worthmentioning that a second peak which is relatively comparedto the transmitted peak can be produced by the reflections ofthe inner shell and it will be larger than the transmitted peakif the outer shell thickness reaches a certain extent (here it isover 06 times the charge radius) for the water-water andwater-air casesemedium between the two shells has great

influences on the transmitted wave while the medium be-hind the inner shell has slight effects on the transmittedwave With the increase of the shell thickness the trans-mission coefficients of the shock wave decrease exponen-tially and increase linearly with the detonation distancewhatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air

For the same outer shell thickness the energy absorptionof the air-backed case is about two to three times that of thewater-backed case With the increasing thickness theequivalent charge mass decreases drastically e equivalentcharge mass for the inner shell can be decreased about 75 ifthe outer shell thickness is over 02 times the charge radius

about 1330 times that of the water-water case It may be dueto the lower impedance of air which is about 15000 timesthat of the water If the shell thickness d1 02 in these twocases there are no values in pressure history curves when thetime exceeds 946θ which is due to the fact that the outershell after deformation is over the position of the measuringpoint 2 With the increase of the shell thickness the pressureattenuates gradually Different from the water-water case orwater-air case the second peak arrives later (at aboutt 1577θ) which may be due to the strong impedancemismatch Also the pressure time histories show no

differences for medium 2 filled with water or air behind theinner shell

As seen in Figures 16(a)ndash16(d) it can be found thatmedium 1 has a great influence on the pressure of thetransmitted wave On the contrary medium 2 behind theinner shell has few effects on the transmitted pressure

e transmission coefficient λt P2P0 can be defined asthe ratio of the peak pressure P2 of the transmitted wave atpoint 2 ie the first peak in Figure 16 to the peak pressureP0 of the incident shock wave in free field e transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave varying with different shellthicknesses are plotted in Figure 18 As described in theanalysis above medium 2 behind the inner shell has littleeffect on the peak pressure of the transmitted shock waveerefore the cases in which medium 2 is water whilemedium 1 is water or air are hereinafter taken for examplesWith the increase of the shell thickness the transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave decrease exponentially for thetwo cases Although the peak pressure P2 of the air-backedcase is much smaller than that of the water-backed case thetrend of transmission coefficients varying with different shellthicknesses is similar to that of the water-backed case

Taking the thickness d1 04 for example the curves ofthe transmission coefficients varying with different deto-nation distances can be plotted in Figure 19 Unlike

Figure 13 with the increase of the detonation distance thetransmission coefficients have a trend of increase by degreese difference may be because the peak pressure P2 is af-fected by the inner shell and the outer shell together whileP1 is mainly affected by the outer shell although the peakpressure P1 and P2 decrease as the detonation distanceincreases

e total energy released by the TNT is 2703 kJ att 75θ and the proportion of the energy absorbed by theouter shell accounting for the total energy is plotted inFigure 20 Because the TNTmass is quite small and the shellhas not been destroyed the energy absorbed by the outershell is less With the increase of shell thickness the energyabsorption proportion increases generally Another featureis that the proportion of the energy absorbed by the outershell can be up to 2 for the air-backed case while about 1for the water-backed case when the shell thickness d1 rangesfrom 01 to 08 For the same shell thickness the energyabsorption of the air-backed case is two to three times that ofthe water-backed case is may attribute to the largerdeformation of the shell in the air-backed case

Figure 21 shows the proportion of the energy transmittedover the outer shell versus different thicknesses etransmission energy gradually decreases with the increase ofshell thickness for the two cases For the same shell

thickness the transmission energy of the air-backed shell ismuch smaller than that of the water-backed shell whichcoincides with the above results in Figure 18 at is thetransmission coefficient λt of the air-backed case is muchsmaller than that of the water-backed case

Figure 22 shows the Mises stress contours of the outerand inner shells for the case of the outer shell thicknessd1 04 It can be seen that if medium 1 between the two

shells is air the maximum stress of the shell will be about 15times that of the water-backed shell and there are almost nostresses in the inner shell erefore it can be concluded thatif the medium is filled with air between two shells the innershell is prevented from serious impact

the relationship between the reflection and transmission ofthe shock wave the ratios λ1 (P1 minusP0)P2 of the peakpressure of the reflected shock wave to that of the trans-mitted shock wave are plotted in Figure 23 e peakpressure of the reflected shock wave is the difference betweenthe measured pressure P1 near the surface of the outer shelland the incident pressure P0 in free field

Obviously with the increase of the thickness no matterwhat the outer shell is backed to the ratios increase and tendto be slow when the thickness exceeds to some extents for theair-backed case e reason for this phenomenon is that thepeak pressure P2 of the transmission wave decreases dras-tically with the increase of shell thickness (Figures 16 and18) Another feature is that the ratios of the shell backed toair are much larger than those of the shell backed to waterat is the reflection proportion is dominant for the air-backed case is can be explained by the fact which can befound in Section 34 that the peak pressure P2 of the air-backed case is smaller than that of the water-backed case fortwo orders of magnitude

Figure 24 shows the peak pressure ratios λ2 P3P1 atthe measuring points 1 and 3 versus different outer shellthicknesses Generally the ratios decrease with the increaseof the shell thickness no matter what media 1 and 2 are filledwith It indicates the reflection proportion increase as theshell thickens In addition the ratios of the water-backedcases (water-water case and water-air case) are obviouslylarger than those of the air-backed cases (air-air case and air-water case) which almost coincide with each other eseaccord well with the analysis in Sections 33 and 34

After the directive wave propagating over the outer shellthe transmitted wave arrives at the inner shell which can beregarded as a directive wave producing a new charge ie theequivalent charge mass me at is to say the effect of thetransmitted wave on the inner shell is to some extentequivalent to that of a new charge on the inner shell Withthe aid of the analysis in Section 33 me can be transformedfrom a free-field component of incident peak pressure on theinner shell namely P4 P3λr by Zamyshlyayev empiricalformula (6)

Table 8 presents the ratios of the equivalent charge massme to the actual charge mass mr e cases of the mediumbetween the two shells filled with water are considered andair-backed cases are absent because P3 is too small As thetable shows the equivalent charge mass for the inner shellcan be decreased about 75 if the outer shell thickness isover 02 times the charge radius With the increasingthickness the equivalent charge mass decreases sharply

e relationships among the incident reflected and trans-mitted waves are discussed

emedium between two hemispherical shells will affectthe peak pressure of the reflected wave generated by theouter shell slightly if the outer shell thickness is thicker thana certain level (here it is over 04 times the charge radius)e reflection coefficients of peak pressure and impulseincrease with the increase of shell thickness and decreaselinearly with the increase of detonation distance Besides thecavitation area caused by the reflected rarefaction wave nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

When the wave transmits over the outer shell a peakpressure called the transmitted peak occurs whatever themedium behind the outer shell is water or air It is worthmentioning that a second peak which is relatively comparedto the transmitted peak can be produced by the reflections ofthe inner shell and it will be larger than the transmitted peakif the outer shell thickness reaches a certain extent (here it isover 06 times the charge radius) for the water-water andwater-air casesemedium between the two shells has great

influences on the transmitted wave while the medium be-hind the inner shell has slight effects on the transmittedwave With the increase of the shell thickness the trans-mission coefficients of the shock wave decrease exponen-tially and increase linearly with the detonation distancewhatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air

For the same outer shell thickness the energy absorptionof the air-backed case is about two to three times that of thewater-backed case With the increasing thickness theequivalent charge mass decreases drastically e equivalentcharge mass for the inner shell can be decreased about 75 ifthe outer shell thickness is over 02 times the charge radius

Media 1 and 2 are both air (noted as air-air) inFigure 16(c) while medium 1 is air and medium 2 is water(noted as air-water) in Figure 16(d) e peak pressures ofthe transmitted shock wave at point 2 are almost the same atthe same shell thickness for both the cases while they are

about 1330 times that of the water-water case It may be dueto the lower impedance of air which is about 15000 timesthat of the water If the shell thickness d1 02 in these twocases there are no values in pressure history curves when thetime exceeds 946θ which is due to the fact that the outershell after deformation is over the position of the measuringpoint 2 With the increase of the shell thickness the pressureattenuates gradually Different from the water-water case orwater-air case the second peak arrives later (at aboutt 1577θ) which may be due to the strong impedancemismatch Also the pressure time histories show no

As seen in Figures 16(a)ndash16(d) it can be found thatmedium 1 has a great influence on the pressure of thetransmitted wave On the contrary medium 2 behind theinner shell has few effects on the transmitted pressure

e transmission coefficient λt P2P0 can be defined asthe ratio of the peak pressure P2 of the transmitted wave atpoint 2 ie the first peak in Figure 16 to the peak pressureP0 of the incident shock wave in free field e transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave varying with different shellthicknesses are plotted in Figure 18 As described in theanalysis above medium 2 behind the inner shell has littleeffect on the peak pressure of the transmitted shock waveerefore the cases in which medium 2 is water whilemedium 1 is water or air are hereinafter taken for examplesWith the increase of the shell thickness the transmissioncoefficients of the shock wave decrease exponentially for thetwo cases Although the peak pressure P2 of the air-backedcase is much smaller than that of the water-backed case thetrend of transmission coefficients varying with different shellthicknesses is similar to that of the water-backed case

Taking the thickness d1 04 for example the curves ofthe transmission coefficients varying with different deto-nation distances can be plotted in Figure 19 Unlike

Figure 13 with the increase of the detonation distance thetransmission coefficients have a trend of increase by degreese difference may be because the peak pressure P2 is af-fected by the inner shell and the outer shell together whileP1 is mainly affected by the outer shell although the peakpressure P1 and P2 decrease as the detonation distanceincreases

e total energy released by the TNT is 2703 kJ att 75θ and the proportion of the energy absorbed by theouter shell accounting for the total energy is plotted inFigure 20 Because the TNTmass is quite small and the shellhas not been destroyed the energy absorbed by the outershell is less With the increase of shell thickness the energyabsorption proportion increases generally Another featureis that the proportion of the energy absorbed by the outershell can be up to 2 for the air-backed case while about 1for the water-backed case when the shell thickness d1 rangesfrom 01 to 08 For the same shell thickness the energyabsorption of the air-backed case is two to three times that ofthe water-backed case is may attribute to the largerdeformation of the shell in the air-backed case

Figure 21 shows the proportion of the energy transmittedover the outer shell versus different thicknesses etransmission energy gradually decreases with the increase ofshell thickness for the two cases For the same shell

thickness the transmission energy of the air-backed shell ismuch smaller than that of the water-backed shell whichcoincides with the above results in Figure 18 at is thetransmission coefficient λt of the air-backed case is muchsmaller than that of the water-backed case

Figure 22 shows the Mises stress contours of the outerand inner shells for the case of the outer shell thicknessd1 04 It can be seen that if medium 1 between the two

shells is air the maximum stress of the shell will be about 15times that of the water-backed shell and there are almost nostresses in the inner shell erefore it can be concluded thatif the medium is filled with air between two shells the innershell is prevented from serious impact

the relationship between the reflection and transmission ofthe shock wave the ratios λ1 (P1 minusP0)P2 of the peakpressure of the reflected shock wave to that of the trans-mitted shock wave are plotted in Figure 23 e peakpressure of the reflected shock wave is the difference betweenthe measured pressure P1 near the surface of the outer shelland the incident pressure P0 in free field

Obviously with the increase of the thickness no matterwhat the outer shell is backed to the ratios increase and tendto be slow when the thickness exceeds to some extents for theair-backed case e reason for this phenomenon is that thepeak pressure P2 of the transmission wave decreases dras-tically with the increase of shell thickness (Figures 16 and18) Another feature is that the ratios of the shell backed toair are much larger than those of the shell backed to waterat is the reflection proportion is dominant for the air-backed case is can be explained by the fact which can befound in Section 34 that the peak pressure P2 of the air-backed case is smaller than that of the water-backed case fortwo orders of magnitude

Figure 24 shows the peak pressure ratios λ2 P3P1 atthe measuring points 1 and 3 versus different outer shellthicknesses Generally the ratios decrease with the increaseof the shell thickness no matter what media 1 and 2 are filledwith It indicates the reflection proportion increase as theshell thickens In addition the ratios of the water-backedcases (water-water case and water-air case) are obviouslylarger than those of the air-backed cases (air-air case and air-water case) which almost coincide with each other eseaccord well with the analysis in Sections 33 and 34

After the directive wave propagating over the outer shellthe transmitted wave arrives at the inner shell which can beregarded as a directive wave producing a new charge ie theequivalent charge mass me at is to say the effect of thetransmitted wave on the inner shell is to some extentequivalent to that of a new charge on the inner shell Withthe aid of the analysis in Section 33 me can be transformedfrom a free-field component of incident peak pressure on theinner shell namely P4 P3λr by Zamyshlyayev empiricalformula (6)

Table 8 presents the ratios of the equivalent charge massme to the actual charge mass mr e cases of the mediumbetween the two shells filled with water are considered andair-backed cases are absent because P3 is too small As thetable shows the equivalent charge mass for the inner shellcan be decreased about 75 if the outer shell thickness isover 02 times the charge radius With the increasingthickness the equivalent charge mass decreases sharply

e relationships among the incident reflected and trans-mitted waves are discussed

emedium between two hemispherical shells will affectthe peak pressure of the reflected wave generated by theouter shell slightly if the outer shell thickness is thicker thana certain level (here it is over 04 times the charge radius)e reflection coefficients of peak pressure and impulseincrease with the increase of shell thickness and decreaselinearly with the increase of detonation distance Besides thecavitation area caused by the reflected rarefaction wave nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

When the wave transmits over the outer shell a peakpressure called the transmitted peak occurs whatever themedium behind the outer shell is water or air It is worthmentioning that a second peak which is relatively comparedto the transmitted peak can be produced by the reflections ofthe inner shell and it will be larger than the transmitted peakif the outer shell thickness reaches a certain extent (here it isover 06 times the charge radius) for the water-water andwater-air casesemedium between the two shells has great

influences on the transmitted wave while the medium be-hind the inner shell has slight effects on the transmittedwave With the increase of the shell thickness the trans-mission coefficients of the shock wave decrease exponen-tially and increase linearly with the detonation distancewhatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air

For the same outer shell thickness the energy absorptionof the air-backed case is about two to three times that of thewater-backed case With the increasing thickness theequivalent charge mass decreases drastically e equivalentcharge mass for the inner shell can be decreased about 75 ifthe outer shell thickness is over 02 times the charge radius

Figure 24 shows the peak pressure ratios λ2 P3P1 atthe measuring points 1 and 3 versus different outer shellthicknesses Generally the ratios decrease with the increaseof the shell thickness no matter what media 1 and 2 are filledwith It indicates the reflection proportion increase as theshell thickens In addition the ratios of the water-backedcases (water-water case and water-air case) are obviouslylarger than those of the air-backed cases (air-air case and air-water case) which almost coincide with each other eseaccord well with the analysis in Sections 33 and 34

After the directive wave propagating over the outer shellthe transmitted wave arrives at the inner shell which can beregarded as a directive wave producing a new charge ie theequivalent charge mass me at is to say the effect of thetransmitted wave on the inner shell is to some extentequivalent to that of a new charge on the inner shell Withthe aid of the analysis in Section 33 me can be transformedfrom a free-field component of incident peak pressure on theinner shell namely P4 P3λr by Zamyshlyayev empiricalformula (6)

Table 8 presents the ratios of the equivalent charge massme to the actual charge mass mr e cases of the mediumbetween the two shells filled with water are considered andair-backed cases are absent because P3 is too small As thetable shows the equivalent charge mass for the inner shellcan be decreased about 75 if the outer shell thickness isover 02 times the charge radius With the increasingthickness the equivalent charge mass decreases sharply

e relationships among the incident reflected and trans-mitted waves are discussed

emedium between two hemispherical shells will affectthe peak pressure of the reflected wave generated by theouter shell slightly if the outer shell thickness is thicker thana certain level (here it is over 04 times the charge radius)e reflection coefficients of peak pressure and impulseincrease with the increase of shell thickness and decreaselinearly with the increase of detonation distance Besides thecavitation area caused by the reflected rarefaction wave nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

When the wave transmits over the outer shell a peakpressure called the transmitted peak occurs whatever themedium behind the outer shell is water or air It is worthmentioning that a second peak which is relatively comparedto the transmitted peak can be produced by the reflections ofthe inner shell and it will be larger than the transmitted peakif the outer shell thickness reaches a certain extent (here it isover 06 times the charge radius) for the water-water andwater-air casesemedium between the two shells has great

influences on the transmitted wave while the medium be-hind the inner shell has slight effects on the transmittedwave With the increase of the shell thickness the trans-mission coefficients of the shock wave decrease exponen-tially and increase linearly with the detonation distancewhatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air

For the same outer shell thickness the energy absorptionof the air-backed case is about two to three times that of thewater-backed case With the increasing thickness theequivalent charge mass decreases drastically e equivalentcharge mass for the inner shell can be decreased about 75 ifthe outer shell thickness is over 02 times the charge radius

Figure 22 shows the Mises stress contours of the outerand inner shells for the case of the outer shell thicknessd1 04 It can be seen that if medium 1 between the two

shells is air the maximum stress of the shell will be about 15times that of the water-backed shell and there are almost nostresses in the inner shell erefore it can be concluded thatif the medium is filled with air between two shells the innershell is prevented from serious impact

Page 16: Study on the Pressure Characteristics of Shock Wave ...downloads.hindawi.com/journals/sv/2019/9026214.pdf · ResearchArticle Study on the Pressure Characteristics of Shock Wave Propagating

the relationship between the reflection and transmission ofthe shock wave the ratios λ1 (P1 minusP0)P2 of the peakpressure of the reflected shock wave to that of the trans-mitted shock wave are plotted in Figure 23 e peakpressure of the reflected shock wave is the difference betweenthe measured pressure P1 near the surface of the outer shelland the incident pressure P0 in free field

Obviously with the increase of the thickness no matterwhat the outer shell is backed to the ratios increase and tendto be slow when the thickness exceeds to some extents for theair-backed case e reason for this phenomenon is that thepeak pressure P2 of the transmission wave decreases dras-tically with the increase of shell thickness (Figures 16 and18) Another feature is that the ratios of the shell backed toair are much larger than those of the shell backed to waterat is the reflection proportion is dominant for the air-backed case is can be explained by the fact which can befound in Section 34 that the peak pressure P2 of the air-backed case is smaller than that of the water-backed case fortwo orders of magnitude

Figure 24 shows the peak pressure ratios λ2 P3P1 atthe measuring points 1 and 3 versus different outer shellthicknesses Generally the ratios decrease with the increaseof the shell thickness no matter what media 1 and 2 are filledwith It indicates the reflection proportion increase as theshell thickens In addition the ratios of the water-backedcases (water-water case and water-air case) are obviouslylarger than those of the air-backed cases (air-air case and air-water case) which almost coincide with each other eseaccord well with the analysis in Sections 33 and 34

After the directive wave propagating over the outer shellthe transmitted wave arrives at the inner shell which can beregarded as a directive wave producing a new charge ie theequivalent charge mass me at is to say the effect of thetransmitted wave on the inner shell is to some extentequivalent to that of a new charge on the inner shell Withthe aid of the analysis in Section 33 me can be transformedfrom a free-field component of incident peak pressure on theinner shell namely P4 P3λr by Zamyshlyayev empiricalformula (6)

Table 8 presents the ratios of the equivalent charge massme to the actual charge mass mr e cases of the mediumbetween the two shells filled with water are considered andair-backed cases are absent because P3 is too small As thetable shows the equivalent charge mass for the inner shellcan be decreased about 75 if the outer shell thickness isover 02 times the charge radius With the increasingthickness the equivalent charge mass decreases sharply

e relationships among the incident reflected and trans-mitted waves are discussed

emedium between two hemispherical shells will affectthe peak pressure of the reflected wave generated by theouter shell slightly if the outer shell thickness is thicker thana certain level (here it is over 04 times the charge radius)e reflection coefficients of peak pressure and impulseincrease with the increase of shell thickness and decreaselinearly with the increase of detonation distance Besides thecavitation area caused by the reflected rarefaction wave nearthe outer shell occurs in the air-backed case

When the wave transmits over the outer shell a peakpressure called the transmitted peak occurs whatever themedium behind the outer shell is water or air It is worthmentioning that a second peak which is relatively comparedto the transmitted peak can be produced by the reflections ofthe inner shell and it will be larger than the transmitted peakif the outer shell thickness reaches a certain extent (here it isover 06 times the charge radius) for the water-water andwater-air casesemedium between the two shells has great

influences on the transmitted wave while the medium be-hind the inner shell has slight effects on the transmittedwave With the increase of the shell thickness the trans-mission coefficients of the shock wave decrease exponen-tially and increase linearly with the detonation distancewhatever the outer shell is exposed to water or air

For the same outer shell thickness the energy absorptionof the air-backed case is about two to three times that of thewater-backed case With the increasing thickness theequivalent charge mass decreases drastically e equivalentcharge mass for the inner shell can be decreased about 75 ifthe outer shell thickness is over 02 times the charge radius
