A better relationship between the shock-wave and impact velocities in high-speed water-solid impact is determined from the fundamental equations of continuity, momentum, and state. A second-order relationship is hypothesized and the necessary coefficients then found using the Tait equation of state. Very good agreement is found with available experimental data for water.
