In the scientific community, water entry impact study has been remained focus by various
authors across the globe in past decades. This paper reviews different analytical …

Water entry bodies are one of the predominating sections in fluid dynamics. The study of
physics plays a vital role in understanding the forces, moments, and shape of the cavity …

The water entry cavity evolution and its flow structures for a sphere interacting with periodic
waves are investigated numerically and experimentally. The large eddy simulation is …

Transient cavity dynamics in the oblique water entry of a cylinder at a constant velocity is
investigated. The drag force exerted on the cylinder is measured by a force sensor, and the …

The air-droppable underwater glider (UG) is a novel unmanned underwater vehicle that can
be deployed from a dedicated flight platform several hundred meters above the sea surface …

Operating in extreme sea conditions, vessels often meet horrible wave impact which
generates wave breaking and splashing at the bow and poses a great threat to staff safety …

High-speed oblique water entry is an interesting subject, many physical aspects of which
remain unknown up to now. Among high-speed air-to-water projectiles, the supercavitating …

Abstract The Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) will suffer severe impact load during
the water entry, and its shell structure will undergo elastoplastic deformation, even breakage …

During being hoisted into the waves, payloads are subjected to violent hydrodynamic
impact, which brings a great challenge for deep-sea cranes' control systems. A two …

The complex impact cavities and motion behaviours of water entry by a multi-degree-of-
freedom motion cylinder are investigated experimentally for different initial horizontal …
