Abstract
A new approach to the solution of the self-similar problem of the entry of a wedge into an ideal fluid at an arbitrary angle to the free surface is proposed. The method is based on the construction of the expressions for the complex velocity and the derivative of the complex potential in a parametric variable domain. An integral and an integro-differential equation are obtained for determining the absolute magnitude and the angle of the velocity vector at the free boundary. The calculated results for the free surface shape, the angles of contact between the free surface and the wedge, and the coefficients of the hydrodynamic forces are presented.
