After calculating the instant pressure I am assuming that the force acting on the wall is $$F=P_1A_{wall}$$ And compression of the air volume is assumed to be symmetric similar to that of a piston compressing air in a cylinder.

Thank you, I did not anticipate the drag force from air counteracting the propulsive force from the hydrostatic pressure.

I enjoyed the write-up and coverage of all physical phenomenon in the event of an implosion. This made me realize that I am very poor at defining the problem at hand and would like to identify that the walls are rigid. But despite the increase in wall stiffness, I find it likely that I will...

Thank you, and good questions that I did not address. Initially, there is no compressed air, so that might have been a misnomer, but as the water rushes into the submerged box the atmospheric air becomes compressed. The area ##A## is the square area between the water and air interface, which...

Hello all, I am trying to understand how a force at the opposite wall from water entering a pressurized air (atmospheric pressure) tank, and for this discussion it is rigid, with no relief valve to displace the compressed air can be deduced. I have created a simple illustration and believe this...

I am interested in conceptualizing the impact force of water against submerged objects that contain atmospheric air. The scenario is a bit much for me to conceptualize alone, so I joined PF to ask the experts in this community. Thanks!
