In this contribution we report on modeling underwater explosion in the framework
of molecular dynamics. We have developed a computer program which allows studying the
underwater explosion in two dimensional Lennard - Jones liquid. Calculations of the
dynamical structure of underwater explosion displayed the striking resemblance of the
underwater-explosion evolution obtained and the real process; namely, generation of a shock
wave and its expanding; formation of a cavity; disintegrating the shock wave, when reaching
a surface, into two parts which begin to move in opposite direction parallel to the surface;
transforming the cavity into a water crater of an arising water volcano; its activity and decay.
