The aim of this paper is to present an application of high-order numerical analysis methods to a simulation system that models the movement of a cylindrical-shaped object (mine, projectile, etc.) in a marine environment and in general in fluids with important applications in Naval operations. More specifically, an alternative methodology is proposed for the dynamics of the Navy’s three-dimensional mine impact burial prediction model, Impact35/vortex, based on the Dormand–Prince Runge–Kutta fifth-order and the singly diagonally implicit Runge–Kutta fifth-order methods. The main aim is to improve the time efficiency of the system, while keeping the deviation levels of the final results, derived from the standard and the proposed methodology, low.

Numerical methods are used to investigate the motion of a horizontal vortex pair through a stably stratified atmosphere. The vortices carry with them a mass of fluid whose density differs from that of the air through which it descends, and the surface of this accompanying fluid becomes a vortex sheet, which is modelled by a set of discrete line vortices.It is shown that, at first, the vortex pair slows down with the shape of the envelope of the accompanying fluid remaining constant. Later, vorticity concentrates at the rear, initiating detrainment and causing a downward acceleration of the vortex pair. Throughout the motion, the vortices approach each other.
