This paper describes a method to pre¬dict the wave heights of water waves generated by underwater cratering ex¬plosions. The method of predicting wave heights is based upon underwater explosion data, the results of numerical model simulations, and laboratory experiments.nWe found that the ratio of wave height to source displacement is independent of the details of the displacement-time history of the source motion. A method for simu¬lating water wave generation by under¬water cratering explosions with a numer¬ical model is also discussed.
