Abstract

The problem of the impact of a body with a plane bottom (of the type of a box) on a thin liquid layer at a small angle is solved in the two-dimensional formulation. The nonlinear shallow water equations are used, together with the method of matched asymptotic expansions. It is found that at certain values of the input parameters of the problem the liquid pressure diminishes near the lower end of the body and becomes smaller than the atmospheric pressure, which results in liquid separation from the box bottom. The numerical results show that all input parameters of the problem have a considerable effect on the nature of body motion. The liquid separation effect on body motion is analyzed.
