Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Underwater Explosion Bubbles III: The Effects of the Surface and the Bottom on the Shape and Motion of the Bubble In our first report, Underwater Explosion Bubbles I, [l], we considered a compressible liquid and showed that the oscillations would then be damped. In our second report, Underwater Explosion Bubbles II, we considered gravity and showed how it would effect the shape of the bubble and also cause it to rise. In the present report we consider the effects of the water surface and bottom in addition to gravity, and show how they effect the shape and motion of the bubble.

This seminal study examines the behavior of underwater explosion bubbles and their impact on nearby structures. Kolodner and Keller's groundbreaking research into the compressibility of water sheds new light on the physics of underwater explosions and has practical applications for the design of offshore structures and ships.
