SEL

300 kg charges

No damping of pressure changes resulting from motion

  • f water displaced by

hot gas globe (low frequency phenomenon) Attenuation of peak pressure from very fast expanding gas sphere (faster than sound speed; high frequency phenomenon) by ~4 dB

uccessful trial with bubble curtain

  • Attenuation of peaks ≥ 16 dB
  • Attenuation 1/3 octave bands (>500Hz) ≥ 5 dB

(compared to trial with incomplete bubble curtain)

  • Attenuation Leq ≥ 7 dB
