Water waves generated by underwater explosions

Jordaan, Jr., J.M.

Explosion waves were simulated by plunging parabolic surface of revolution in and out of indoor test basin 3 ft deep by 92 ft square; dispersive wave attenuation and subsequent shoaling amplification is determined from modified Green's Law relationship for two-dimensional radiating dispersive waves; or by conventional Green's Law relationship for waves that are already shallow water waves at their generating area (tsunami type); maximum breaker height and maximum run-up on uniform ideal slope for latter case is found to be directly expressible in terms of deep water wave height, length or generating depth.
