The process involves the computational modeling of the effects produced by two consecutive pressure disturbances propagating through a fluid medium surrounding a target. It replicates a complex physical phenomenon often encountered in maritime scenarios. For example, analyzing the structural integrity of a submarine hull when subjected to sequential blast loads underwater would necessitate this type of analysis.
This type of simulation is crucial for assessing structural vulnerability, optimizing designs for increased resilience, and developing effective mitigation strategies. Historically, physical experimentation was the primary method for evaluating these effects. Numerical methods offer a cost-effective and efficient alternative, allowing for the exploration of a wide range of parameters and scenarios that would be impractical or impossible to test physically. This is particularly important considering the difficulty and expense of performing these complex tests in real world.
