Wang, S. and Guedes Soares, C. (2014), “Asymmetrical water impact of two-dimensional wedges with roll angle with multi-material Eulerean Formulation”, International Journal of Maritime Engineering, Vol. 156, pp. A-115 - A130.

The hydrodynamic study on the asymmetrical water impact of a two-dimensional wedge with heeled angle is presented. The slam induced loads on the wedges entering calm water with both vertical and horizontal velocities are predicted based on the explicit finite element method. The effects of the horizontal impact velocity and the heeled angle are investigated through the obtained results of pressure distribution and force, which are also compared with the numerical calculations from Xu (1998) and Xu (2008), and analytical ones from Algarin & Tascon (2011).
