| description | Underwater explosion ice-breaking technology is critical for Arctic development and ice disaster prevention due to its high efficiency, yet it faces challenges in understanding the coupled dynamics of shock waves, pulsating bubbles, and heterogeneous ice fracture. This review synthesizes theoretical models, experimental studies, and numerical simulations investigating damage mechanisms. Key findings establish that shock waves initiate brittle fracture via stress superposition while bubble pulsation drives crack propagation through pressure oscillation; optimal ice fragmentation depends critically on charge weight, standoff distance, and ice thickness. However, significant limitations persist in modeling sea ice heterogeneity, experimental replication of polar conditions, and computational efficiency. Future advancements require multiscale fluid–structure interaction models integrating brine migration effects, enhanced experimental diagnostics for transient processes, and optimized numerical algorithms to enable reliable predictions for engineering applications. |
