Abstract
The loads acting on a ship originating from an underwater explosion behave very complex due to interaction between the construction and the water. Firstly the ship is loaded by the incident shock wave. The reflected shock wave can cause cavitation in the water near the free surface (bulk cavitation) and near the ship’s shell (hull cavitation). Often the ship is lifted out of the water, after which it falls back due to gravity and slams on the water surface. The cavitated water area will close and due to the water hammer, a secondary shock wave is generated. In case the closure occurs after the slam, the ship will be reloaded by this secondary shock wave, which again can cause secondary cavitations.
