Cavity Formation during Asymmetric Water Entry of Rigid Bodies

This work numerically evaluates the role of advancing velocity on the water entry of rigid wedges, highlighting its influence on the development of underpressure at the fluid–structure interface, which can eventually lead to fluid detachment or cavity formation, depending on the geometry. A coupled...
