Simulation of the Collapse of an Underwater Explosion Bubble under a Circular Plate

A two-fluid, computational fluid dynamics study of the phenomena of bubble collapse under a submersed flat plate has been performed. In order to handle the rapidly changing bubble-water interface accurately, second order upwind differencing is used in calculating the advection term. Good agreement w...
