Abstract

The explosion process is a sharp increase in volume and a sudden release of energy, usually accompanied by an increase in temperature and the release of gas. The phenomenon of underwater explosions is different from explosions that occur on the surface of the earth due to the characteristics of water. In the process of explosive forming, the choice of water as an interface due to much higher mechanical impedance of water than air and consequently higher inertia of water, is a more appropriate option. In underwater explosive forming, the wave caused by the explosion is propagated by the water environment in a fraction of a second to the target sample, and after colliding and transferring energy, it causes a very high strain rate in it, which increases and Improves sample deformation. In this study, important parameters in the underwater explosion process such as explosion depth, water depth and water vessel geometry and their impact on underwater explosive forming have been investigated. Also, the purpose of this study is to comprehensively investigate the effective parameters, analytical relationships, background researches and simulations performed in the field of underwater explosive forming.
