Wang, S., Luo, HB. and Guedes Soares, C. (2012), “Explicit FE simulation of slamming load on rigid wedge with various deadrise angles during water entry”, Maritime Engineering and Technology, Guedes Soares et al. (Eds),Taylor & Francis Group, London, pp.399-406
The two-dimensional water entry of rigid wedges is studied in this work by using an explicit finite element method based on a multi-material arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation and penalty coupling method. The predicted vertical force and pressure distribution on the surface of a wedge with a deadrise angle of 30? are compared with available experimental results to validate the current FEM model. The effect of deadrise angle on the slamming load is studied by comparing the predicted results of wedge with varying deadrise angles in terms of maximum pressure coefficient, pressure distribution and maximum slamming force. Comparisons with analytical calculations are included as well.
