Mines, torpedoes and improvised explosive devices (IED) pose a serious threat to the survivability of naval combatants. Inasmuch, a major goal in the design of modern combatant ships has been to eliminate or at least reduce the devastating damage caused by underwater explosion events. Even though there has been extensive research performed on the various underwater explosion phenomena and their associated effects, effective shock testing and shock proofing strategies for naval ship systems have proven to be illusive. Through the use of modeling and simulation (M&S), live fire test and evaluation (LFT&E) and laboratory testing, general guidelines for the shock hardening of shipboard equipment and systems have been developed. In this paper, current aspect of ship survivability has been addressed and future direction is discussed.

In recent years, the structural shock response to underwater explosion has been studied as much, or more, through numerical simulations than through testing for several reasons. Very high costs and sensitive environmental concerns have kept destructive underwater explosion testing to a minimum. Increase of simulation capabilities and sophisticated simulation tools has made numerical simulations more efficient analysis methods as well as more reliable testing aids. For the simulation of underwater explosions against, surface ships or submerged structures one has to include the effects of the explosive shock wave, the motion of the gaseous reactive products, the local cavitation collapse, the different nonlinear structural properties and the complex fluid-structure interaction phenomena. In this study, as benchmark step for the validation of hydrocode LS/DYNA3D and of technology of fluid-structure interaction problems, two kinds of cavitation problems are analyzed and structural shock response of floating ship model are compared with experimental result.

We calculate the evolution of multiple supernova (SN) explosions inside a pre-exiting bubble blown up by winds from massive stars, using one-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations including radiative cooling and thermal conduction effects. First, the development of the wind bubble driven by collective winds from multiple stars during the main sequence is calculated. Then multiple SN explosion is loaded at the center of the bubble and the evolution of the SN remnant is followed for $10^6$ years. We find the size and mass of the SN-driven shell depend on the structure of the pre-existing wind bubble as well as the total SN explosion energy. Most of the explosion energy is lost via radiative cooling, while about 10% remains as kinetic energy and less than 10% as thermal energy of the expanding bubble shell. Thus the photoionization and heating by diffuse radiation emitted by the shock heated gas is the most dominant form of SN feedback into the surrounding interstellar medium.

The chemical characteristics, enzymatic saccharification, and ethanol fermentation of autohydrolyzed lignocellulosic material that was exposed to steam explosion were investigated using bagasse as the sample. The effects of the steam explosion on the change in pH, organic acids production, degrees of polymerization and crystallinity of the cellulose component, and the amount of extractive components in the autohydrolyzated bagasse were examined. The steam explosion decreased the degree of polymerzation up to about 700 but increased the degree of crystallinity and the micelle width of the cellulose component in the bagasse. The steam explosion, at a pressure of 2.55 MPa for 3 mins, was the most effective for the delignification of bagasse. 40 g/L of glucose and 20 g/L of xylose were produced from 100 g/L of the autohydrolyzed bagasse by the enzymatic saccharification using mixed cellulases, acucelase and meicelase. The maximum ethanol concentration, 20 g/L, was obtained from the enzymatic hydrolyzate of 100 g/L of the autohydrolyzed bagasse by the ethanol fermentation using Pichia stipitis CBS 5773; the ethanol yield from sugars was 0.33 g/g sugars.

Hydrogen production facility using very high temperature gas cooled reactor lies in situation of high temperature and corrosion which makes hydrogen release easily. In that case of hydrogen release, there lies a danger of explosion. However, from the point of thermal-hydraulics view, the long distance of them makes lower efficiency result. In this study, therefore, outlines of hydrogen production using nuclear energy are researched. Several methods for analyzing the effects of hydrogen explosion upon high temperature gas cooled reactor are reviewed. Reliability physics model which is appropriate for assessment is used. Using this model, leakage probability, rupture probability and structure failure probability of very high temperature gas cooled reactor are evaluated and classified by detonation volume and distance. Also based on standard safety criteria which is value of $1{\times}10^{-6}$, safety distance between the very high temperature gas cooled reactor and the hydrogen production facility is calculated.

본 연구에서는 파이프라인 가스 수송시에의 가스누출사고에 관하여 gaussian gas인 LNG의 경우 1994년 12월 아현동 지하공급기지 폭발사고와 heavy gas인 LPG의 경우 1995년 4월 대구지하철 공사장 폭발사고를 중심으로 고찰하였다. 즉, 밀폐공간에서의 가스 누출량을 계산하고 현장의 피해보고 결과를 토대로 폭발효율을 예측하였다. 또한, LNG와 LPG가 동일양의 가스가 개방계로 누출되었다고 가정할 때, ALOHA와 PHAST모델에 의해 그 피해를 예측한 결과는 대구 모델의 경우 LNG의 폭발한계 범위내의 확산면적은 LPG에 비해 약 15배정도 적은 것으로 계산되었고, 복사열 영향도 LNG가 LPG보다 그 영향이 작게 나타났다.

충격파나 압력파가 구조물에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해서는 과압, 양의 압력 지속시간, 충격량에 대한 정보가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 증기운 폭발 해석에 효과적인 다중에너지법을 적용하여 과압 및 양의 압력 지속 시간을 결정하였다. 영국 Nypro 화학회사에서 발생한 싸이클로헥산 증기운 폭발 사고에서 추정된 총 폭발열을 기반으로 폭발원으로부터 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280, 320, 360(m) 이격된 지점에서의 과압, 양의 압력 지속시간을 평가하였다. 거리에 따라 과압은 지수적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났고, 양의 압력 지속시간은 거의 선형적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 상기의 각 거리에서 구한 과압 및 충격량을 이용하여 각 거리에서의 구조물의 손상 확률을 평가하기 위해서 프로빗 함수를 사용하였다. 손상 확률을 평가한 결과 120m 이내 지점에서는 붕괴의 가능성이 크고, 240m 이내에서는 심각한 구조물의 손상이, 구조물의 가벼운 손상과 유리창 파손은 전 범위에 걸쳐서 발생하는 것으로 나타났다.

The primary effect of the far-field underwater explosion (UNDEX) is the whipping of the ship hull girder. This paper aims to verify why inelastic effects should be considered in the whipping response estimations from the UNDEX simulations. A navy ship was modeled using Timoshenko beam elements over the ship length uniformly keeping the constant midship section modulus. The transient UNDEX pressure was produced using two types of the Geers-Hunter doubly-asymptotic models: compressible and incompressible fluids. Because the UNDEX model based on incompressible fluid assumption provided more increased fluid volume acceleration in the bubble phase, the incompressible fluid-based UNDEX model was adopted for the inelastic whipping response analyses. The non-linear hull girder bending moment-curvature curve was used to embed inelastic effects in the UNDEX analyses where the Smith method was applied to derive the non-linear stiffness. We assumed two stand-off distances to see more apparent inelastic effects: 40.5 m and 35.5 m. In the case of the 35.5 m stand-off distance, there was a statistically significant inelastic effect in terms of the average of peak moments and the average exceeding proportional limit moments. For the conservative design of a naval ship under UNDEX, it is recommended to use incompressible fluid. In the viewpoint of cost-effective naval ship design, the inelastic effects should be taken into account.

Due to certain geological characteristics (high thickness, rocky properties), some underground coal mines require the use of explosives. This paper explores the effects of fragmentation of different decks detonated simultaneously in a single borehole with the use of numerical analysis. ANSYS/LS-DYNA code was used for the implementation of the models. The models include an erosion criterion to simulate the cracks generated by the explosion. As expected, the near-borehole area was damaged by compression stresses, while far zones and the free surface of the boundary were subjected to tensile damage. With the increase of the number of decks in the borehole, different changes in the fracture pattern were observed, and the superposition effects of the stress wave became evident, affecting the fragmentation results. The superposition effect is more evident in close distances to the borehole, and its effect attenuates when the distance to the borehole increase.

A bright post-breakout emission was detected for a Type Ic supernova (SN Ic) LSQ14efd, which was among the first for SNe Ic. To explain the early-time light curve and color evolution, the effects of the circumstellar medium (CSM) are investigated. Four main parameters, CSM mass, CSM radius, nickel distribution, and explosion energy, are systematically explored in multi-group radiation hydrodynamics simulations, STELLA. Matching the model light curves and color evolution with the observation, we could constrain the parameter space and find out the best fit models. Our results imply that the progenitor suffered a strong mass loss shortly before the explosion and had a massive CSM of ~0.1 M_⊙.
