Adhesion problem of marine organisms often becomes a problem, in the case of ship, marine floating construction and sluice gate of power plant. These make fluid resistance of a hull increase, cause a buoyancy fall, or cause reducing coolant etc. Although these are chiefly removed by manual operation now, immense expense and immense labors, such as personnel expenses and time and effort, are needed. We tried application of an underwater shock wave, in order to solve these problems. Interference of a shock wave and the mechanism of marine organisms exfoliation were explored using the explosive and PMMA plate, which imitated a marine organisms adhesion. The process of exfoliation of organisms from PMMA plate was observed by using of the high-speed camera.

The aim of study is to confirm a new technique that can crush the frozen soil and/or ice block using underwater shock wave generated by the underwater explosion of explosive. This technique can lead to the earlier sowing, which can have the larger harvest because the duration of sunshine increases. Especially, in Hokkaido prefecture, Japan, if the sowing is carried out in April, we can expect to have 150% of harvest in the ordinary season. This technique is effective against the cold regions. For example, Korea, China, Mongolia, Russia, Norway, and Sweden, etc. At first, we carried out experiments usung a detonating fuse and ice block. The process of ice breaking was observed by means of a high-speed camera. In order to check about that influence we tried to give an actual frozen soil a shock wave.

The aim of this study is to confirm a new technique that can crush ice by underwater shock wave generated by underwater explosion of explosive. Damage caused by ice occurs in the cold regions at different circumstances. For example, the problems such as accretion of ice on the drainage of snow melting system, on the ship and on farm lands. The solution for such problems is to use a method of heating. As the necessary quantity of heat is enormous and the problem of global warming exists, the dynamic way of solving is desirable. At first, we carried out experiments using detonating cord and ice block. The process of propagation of shock wave in ice was observed by using the high-speed camera.

The final aim of study is confirm a new technique that can crush frozen soil and/or ice on the farm by underwater shock wave generated underwater explosion of explosive. In the cold region, for example, North Japan, Russia, Norway, and Sweden, etc., this technique can makes carry out early sowing and having large harvest. Especially, in Hokkaido prefecture Japan, if sowing is carried out in April, we may be expected to have a 150% of harvest of ordinary season due to the total of the sunshine hours. At first, we carried out experiments, which use detonating cord and ice block for the case of shock wave that collides aslant to ice. We obtained result that strength of the ice strongly depends on existence of bubble in the ice. So, we carried out experiments, which use explosive and ice block for the case of shock wave that collides verticality to ice. And, as the first step of pressure measurement, we experimented using the plate device that can detect shock wave. The process of breaking of ice was observed by using of the high-speed camera.

Detonating code is a flexible code with an explosive core. It is used to transmit the ignition of explosives with high detonation velocity in the range of 5.5 to 7 km/s. However, it is difficult to use detonating code for the explosive welding of common metals since the horizontal point velocity usually exceeds the sound velocity. Hence, in the present work, a new method using underwater shock wave generated by the detonation of detonating code was tried. The details of the experimental parameters and the results are presented. From the results it is observed that the above technique is suitable to weld thin metal plates with relatively less explosives.

The paper describes a numerically simulated result for the explosive welding using reflected underwater shock wave. Through the numerical simulation, the effective use of reflected underwater shock wave was clearly suggested and the method to improve the assembly was demonstrated.
