Please don't forget that I am an extremely racist idiot who also has terrible opinions about the Culture series.

So yeah, does that actually mean that explosive force is significantly more destructive underwater, because of its density and inability to compress relative to air?

Partly. The water acts to an extent as a tamper. But moreso than that, the explosive turns into a cloud of superheated gas, which expands and pushes the water out of the way. But it doesn't expand just to ambient pressure, it overshoots that and becomes rarefied, and the water pressure than becomes higher than the gas pressure and crushes the ball of gas back down again. Now the gas is at higher pressure, so it expands again. You wind up with an oscillating bubble that tends to glom on to whatever's near it, such as a ship hull, and with each oscillation it's dumping more energy into the target.

quote:

Is this also why the Decibel scale is different underwater? You see all sorts of things about whalesong and active SONAR being in like the 250dB range, which in the atmosphere isn't just deafening, but somewhere akin to 'vaporize you completely' levels of SPL.

You can't really get a "sound" louder than 194 dB in air, because you can't go down to negative pressure on the low end of the sound wave. If you get "louder" than that, you're dealing with something more akin to a shockwave: it's not just passing through the air as a medium, it's pushing it around, doing work on it. In water, your limit is when the pressure drops low enough for the water to start cavitating, turning to vapor, so the deeper you go and the higher the water pressure is to start with, the louder a sound you can make.

This is enlightening, thank you. I really should know more about the physics of acoustics, alas math was not my strong suit and recording school didn't exactly emphasize its importance beyond "here's how the dB scale works in dBFS, dB/SPL, here's what unity gain is and why you're gonna gently caress things up if you ignore it." I'd love to learn more about the relationship between the acoustic and the mechanical, in hopes that it'll make me better-equipped to do 'my job' (lmao nobody is hiring me). Anyway thanks.

It’s a meme that parodies those videos where people do stuff the old fashioned way. The joke is that what they’re doing makes no sense
