Abstract
The water-impacting behavior of a wedge is often studied in the slamming phenomenon of ships and aircraft. Many scholars have proposed theoretical models for studying the water-impacting problem of a wedge, but these models still have some shortcomings. This study combines Von Karman’s method, the Generalized Wagner Model (GWM), and Modified Logvinovich Model (MLM) to establish a converged theoretical Von Karman-GWM-MLM (VGM) model. The VGM model utilizes added mass to replace the fluid influence, which is derived from the velocity potential and boundary conditions. Considering the influence of impulse, the velocity is determined by the momentum theorem. Subsequently, the pressure, resultant force, and acceleration of the wedge can be calculated. By comparing with the published test data of other scholars, it is found that the velocity, acceleration, pressure, and force of the wedge obtained by the VGM model reached a consensus with experiments. The validity and accuracy of the VGM model are also verified. The efficiency and accuracy of problem-solving are both balanced when using the VGM model. The establishment of the VGM model is significant for solving water-impacting problems related to wedges.
