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 those of observed in the real process. For
studying the structure of shock waves, a special technique was developed. It allowed
observing the form of a shock wave and estimating its velocity. The most striking result of
the investigation is that the form of the shock wave in a shallow water explosion has an
evident wavy character similar to electromagnetic shock waves.
