Abstract: The Navy’s mine impact burial prediction model creates a time history of a cylindrical or a noncylindrical mine as it falls through air, water, and sediment. The output of the model is the ...

Abstract: Ocean wave propagation causes random change in an ocean surface slope and in turn affects the underwater bomb trajectory deviation (r) through a water column. This trajectory deviation is crucial ...

Abstract: A falling rigid body through air, water, and sediment is investigated experimentally and theoretically. Two experiments were conducted to drop rigid cylinders with density ratio around 1.8 into ...

Abstract: The United States military has undergone numerous changes since the end of the Cold War. Specifically, the U.S. Navy experienced a shift in the area of engagement from the “blue water” (water ...

Abstract: Prediction of a rigid body falling through water column with a high speed (such as Mk-84 bomb) needs formulas for drag/lift and torque coefficients, which depend on various physical processes ...
