Abstract
An Eulerian wavecode was used to simulate the impact, penetration, and deto nation of a 23-mm high-explosive projectile into a water-filled tank. The p ressure-time response is compared with results from an experiment conducted by Lundstrom and Andersen (Symp. on Shock and Wave Propagation, Fluid-Stru cture Interaction, and Structural Responses, 1989). Computed peak pressures and impulses compare well with the experimental values. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
