Accurately predicting the force experienced by particles within a random bed during shock traversal is a challenging problem. In this paper, particle-resolved inviscid simulations of shock propagation over randomly distributed beds are performed, with the goal of quantifying the force on individual particles. Water was considered the continuum material, and then results were compared with previous research completed in air and the differences resulting from these different mediums were examined. Simulations were conducted for four different combinations of incident Mach number and bed volume fraction with the particles remaining stationary. Additionally, time-resolved streamwise and transverse force coefficients were calculated for each particle in the bed. It was observed that while the average force coefficient was similar to that of an isolated particle, the force on individual particles was substantially different. An important observation was that the inviscid drag force on some particles remained consistently positive, but others consistently negative even long after the passage of the shock. This persistent force on the particle was attributed to the potential flow fields that result from neighbors' specific locations upstream and downstream. Similar behavior was observed in the transverse force, with particles experiencing sustained force in the same lateral direction. These persistent forces are inviscid quasisteady contributions which with the viscous counterpart will play an essential role in the particle's long-term dispersion if allowed to move in response to the force.
