Abstract
The water-entry behaviours of projectiles with hemisphere-head were studied experimentally and theoretically, focusing on projectile dynamics and drag coefficient. Based on equivalent cone theory proposed by Baldwin, the equation of drag coefficient was developed to describe the resistance of hemispherical head projectiles from the time when the projectile contacts the water to the time the hemispherical head is submerged. A set of experimental apparatus was set up to record the water-entry process by high-speed photography, the variation of resistance during water-entry was obtained experimentally. Compared the acceleration calculated by conventional method, new method and experimental results, the new method is more consistent with the experimental value.
