Abstract
The principles of the numerical modeling of marine impacts of large cosmic bodies are described. Three underwater impact structures, MjOlnir, Lockne, and Eltanin, are considered with the aim of studying the characteristics of the crater formation at varying sea depths; the distinctions between the underwater and continental craters are discussed. The mechanisms for tsunami-wave generation are studied at different ratios of sea depth to impactor size. The calculation results are compared to the experimental data obtained during underwater nuclear explosions.
