Experimental and numerical research on a novel underwater launching method with high efficiency and low resistance

This paper describes an experimental and a numerical study of a recently developed high-efficiency, low-resistance launching method for an underwater launcher. The so-called gas-curtain launch method overcomes the problems of poor safety and low muzzle velocity in traditional fully submerged launche...
