Abstract

Impact problem associated with water entry of a wedge has important applications in various aspects of naval architecture and ocean engineering. In the present study, the 2DOF (2 Degrees of Freedom) wedge impact problem into the water with various wedge deadrise angles and impact velocities is investigated using Weakly Compressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (WCSPH) method. Artificial viscosity and density correction are used to create stability and also to prevent the penetration of fluid particles into the solid boundary. Solving the impact problem is very time-consuming, therefore extracting new mathematical relations can be very useful to calculate some important and applicable parameters in a certain range of wedge angles and impact velocities. In the present research, some new dimensionless applicable relations using the Buckingham π theorem are extracted to investigate important parameters such as acceleration and slamming force in general cases of a wedge impact problem. Then, these mathematical relations are validated by the results obtained from the simulations.
