Abstract
Shock-wave peak pressures produced by exploding small (13.5-grain) detonators underwater were measured at ranges from 1 to 90 ft. Good agreement with the empirical pressure-distance scaling rule for TNT was found, and spreading of the pressure-time profile with range was found. Confidence limits for the predicted peak pressures at five ranges are given. The data were fitted to two other pressure-distance functions based on the Kirkwood-Bethe propagation theory.
