“…Several theoretical and numerical methods have been proposed to solve more general two dimensional water-entry problems. To indicate a few, these include similarity flow solutions for wedges by Shademani and Ghadimi [4] or Ghazizade and Nikseresht [5], matched asymptotic expansions by Armand and Cointe [6], nonlinear numerical methods by Greenhow [7] or Farsi and Ghadimi [8 and 9] or Yamada et al [10] or Luo et al [11], conformal mapping methods by Ghadimi et al [12] or Shah et al [13] and CFD techniques by Panahi [14] or Panciroli [15] or Piro and Maki [16]. It is difficult to obtain a fully nonlinear solution of the water-entry impact problem even in the regime of the potential flow theory.…”

In this paper, symmetric water entry of twin wedges is investigated for deadrise angle of 30 degree. Three numerical simulation of a symmetric impact, considering rigid body dynamic equations of motion in two-phase flow is presented. The two-phase flow around the wedges is solved by Finite Element based on Finite Volume method (FEM-FVM) which is used in conjunction with Volume of Fluid (VOF) scheme in ANSYS Fluent and ANSYS CFX and Phase Field scheme in COMSOL Multiphysics. The method and scheme of simulation are validated by experimental data for geometry with one wedge. The dynamic mesh, mesh motion and moving mesh models are used to simulate dynamic motion of the wedges in ANSYS Fluent, ANSYS CFX and COMSOL Multiphysics, respectively. The vertical velocity and pressure coefficient versus time are determined and comparisons of the computed mentioned parameters against experimental data are performed. The eight characteristics effects of fluid flow are investigated till 0.25 second after wedges falling including impact event. It is demonstrated that the ANSYS Fluent and k-ε were the best software and viscous model, respectively.

“…It is worth highlighting how, in the recent past, due to the increased computational power availability, many efforts have been devoted in defining models for the contemporary solution of both fluid and solid motion/deformation [19]. In naval application, this reflects always increasing attention to the analysis of impulsive loads due to slamming of rigid/deformable wedges/obstacles [20,21].…”

In this study, the capabilities of a coupled KBC-free surface model to deal with fluid solid interactions with the slamming of rigid obstacles in a calm water tank were analyzed. The results were firstly validated with experimental and numerical data available in literature and, thereafter, some additional analyses was carried out to understand the main parameters’ influence on slamming coefficient. The effect of grid resolution and Reynolds number were firstly considered to choose the proper grid and to present the weak impact of such a non-dimensional number on process evolution. Hence, the influence of Froude number on fluid-dynamics quantities was pointed out considering vertical impacts of both cylindrical, as in the references, and ellipsoidal obstacles. Different formulations of slamming coefficient were used and compared. Results are pretty encouraging and they confirm the effectiveness of lattice Boltzmann model to deal with such a problem. This leaves the door open to additional improvements addressed to the study of free buoyant bodies immersed in a fluid domain.

“…Recently, due to the increased availability of computational power, significant research efforts head towards the development of numerical methods that simultaneously model the fluid flow and the solid motion and deformation [35][36][37][38]. Such methodologies require the modeling of two non-overlapping domains, the fluid and the solid, separated by a common interface.…”

“…Therefore, the development of reliable numerical methods and experimental techniques to characterize such impulsive loading is crucial for the design of several kind of engineering devices, such as marine vessels and hydraulic structures. Several works are available in literature dealing with the simulation of fluid-structure interaction in the presence of a free surface [6,9,[35][36][37]. Different numerical models, alternative to Navier-Stokes, may be also employed to simulate the fluid flow with a free surface, such as Smoothed Particles Hydrodynamics (SPH) [54,55], Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) [8,56] and constrained interpolation profile (CIP) method [57,58].…”

In this paper we present a computational model for the fluid structure interaction of a buoyant rigid body immersed in a free surface flow. The presence of a free surface and its interaction with buoyant bodies make the problem very challenging. In fact, with light (compared to the fluid) or very flexible structures, fluid forces generate large displacements or accelerations of the solid and this enhances the artificial added mass effect. Such a problem is relevant in particular in naval and ocean engineering and for wave energy harvesting, where a correct prediction of the hydrodynamic loading exerted by the fluid on buoyant structures is crucial. To this aim, we develop and validate a tightly coupled algorithm that is able to deal with large structural displacement and impulsive acceleration typical, for instance, of water entry problems. The free surface flow is modeled through the volume of fluid model, the finite volume method is utilized is to discretize the flow and solid motion is described by the Newton-Euler equations. Fluid structure interaction is modeled through a Dirichlet-Newmann partitioned approach and tight coupling is achieved by utilizing a fixed-point iterative procedure. As most experimental data available in literature are limited to the first instants after the water impact, for larger hydrodynamic forces, we specifically designed a set of dedicated experiments on the water impact of a buoyant cylinder, to validate the proposed methodology in a more general framework. Finally, to demonstrate that the proposed numerical model could be used for a wide range of engineering problems related to FSI in multiphase flows, we tested the proposed numerical model for the simulation of a floating body.
