Abstract
The computational parameters are of great influence on underwater explosion load. A one-dimensional wedge model is established to analyze the influence of boundary condition (BC), water domain and mesh density on the numerical simulation results. The results show that flowout BC is rigid boundary and transmit BC is not suitable for simulating the collapses phase of bubble pulsation. According to propagation distance of shock wave and its reflected wave, a simple method to calculate appropriate water domain is proposed. A positive correlation between mesh density (λ) and calculated peak pressure of shock wave (P m) is found. When λ tends to infinity, simulated Pm in near field is quite reliable, but the values in relatively far field are lower than empirical results.
