Abstract

Propagation and attenuation of spherical shock waves in water is studied theoretically by using Whitham's method and Energy Hypothesis method. Results are compared with the experimental data it is found that attenuation predicted by Energy Hypothesis is quite agreeable with that obtained experimentally, where as that by Whitham's method gives higher values. A relation between two different forms of equations of state, generally reported in the literature, is established.
