Abstract

The study of water entry cavity and the analysis of load characteristics are hot topics in water entry research. The coupled Euler-Lagrange method is used to carry out simulation research on the water entry process of a cylinder. Aiming at the water vapor mixing phenomenon caused by structure slamming on the water at the initial time of water entry, the slamming load is further studied by correcting the sound speed in the water. The differences between the calculated results obtained by adjusting the number of units in the numerical simulation prove the convergence of the numerical method. Water entry experiments of a cylinder were carried out, and the results are in good agreement with the simulation data. The motion state simulation and analysis are carried out for the process of water entry with different initial speeds and angles. The changes in the structure's positions, air cavities, and slamming loads are obtained. The rule of slamming pressure with the water entry angle and the relationship between pressure and acceleration are determined.
