Abstract:

Measurements of sound propagating from underwater detonations are described, in terms of waveform and spectra. Correlated analytical results are presented, which emphasize the comparative effects of finite amplitude, relaxation, viscosity, and geometrical spreading. A transient pressure is defined to be the event between successive crossings of ambient pressure. The reception and analysis of such transients is discussed. Author
