Abstract

This work presents comprehensive numerical research on the impact load of the trans-medium aircraft (TMA) using the coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) method during a water-entry event. The water-entry velocity, angle, and attitude play a significant role in the impact load characteristics of the water-entry trajectory. In this paper, a numerical model of a typical TMA structure is established to study the water-entry load with the velocity 0, 2m/s, 4m/s, 6m/s, 8m/s, the angle 90°, 80°, 70°, 60°, 50°, the attitude 90°, 80°, 70°, 60°, 50°. Subsequently, the variation laws of the impact load with different water-entry velocity, angle, and attitude are analyzed. The results obtained from this investigation can supply a good reference to structural design of the TMA.
