Circuit inductance is an important parameter at underwater electrical wire explosion (UEWE) experiments as it closely relates to the energy deposition rate to the load wire. In this study, the circuit inductance was varied within a wide range from 1.55 μ H to 93.2 μ H by inserting inductive coils to study its effects on electrical and shock wave (SW) characteristics at UEWE. Experimental results showed that UEWEs using thinner wires were less affected by the increase of circuit inductance and the SW peak pressure several-cm away from the wire is not sensitive to the increase of circuit inductance if properly choosing the diameter of load wire: the maximum SW peak pressure obtained with varied diameter (constant energy storage and wire length) only saw a decrease of 30% as the circuit inductance increased by 60 times from 1.55 μ H (0.3 mm diameter, 19 MPa) to 93.2 μ H (0.2 mm diameter, 13 MPa). Hydrodynamic calculations were used to explain the experimenta...

水下导线爆炸时电路电感对电气和冲击波特性的影响

电路电感是水下电线爆炸（UEWE）实验中的重要参数，因为它与负载电线的能量沉积速率密切相关。在这项研究中，通过插入感应线圈来研究其对UEWE的电波和冲击波（SW）特性的影响，电路电感在1.55μH至93.2μH的宽范围内变化。实验结果表明，使用较细导线的UEWE受电路电感增加的影响较小，如果正确选择负载导线的直径，则距离导线几厘米的SW峰值压力对电路电感的增加不敏感：最大SW随着电路电感从1.55μH（0.3 mm直径，1.5 mm）增加60倍，在不同直径（恒定能量存储和导线长度）下获得的峰值压力仅下降了30％。19 MPa）至93.2μH（0.2 mm直径，13 MPa）。水动力计算被用来解释实验。
