Abstract
This paper presents systematic comparisons of experiments against fluid structure interaction (FSI) simulations for flat water plate entry. Special focus is attributed on hydroelasticity and air trapping effects, quantification of the experimental and numerical uncertainties and the validity of modelling assumptions for the prediction of bottom slamming induced loads. Consequently, the American society of Mechanical Engineers standard for Verification and Validation is used to estimate the errors. Numerical and experimental results agree favourably. It is shown that pressures and strains may be prone to spatial effects that lead to minor deviations between experiments and simulations. High frequency vibration modes and model boundary conditions may also influence the results.
