Abstract
One factor affecting water safety when conducting underwater explosions is correctly determining the safe distance as a function of the charge mass and type of explosive used. A method was examined which with an accuracy sufficient for practical use permits determining numerical values for the empirical coefficients characterizing the rate of change in the pressure relative to the distance covered by the detonation wave for arbitrary initial conditions, including with the use of industrial explosives. The method was based on a generalization and analysis of available data on individual types of explosives and establishment of new regularities characterizing the interrelation of the coefficients as parameters of a single physical process. This method made it possible to determine the coefficients and the safe distance under various initial blasting conditions which helps simplify engineering calculations and increase their reliability.
