Experimental study on cavity dynamics of projectile water entry with different physical parameters
Y Shi, G Wang, G Pan - Physics of Fluids, 2019 - pubs.aip.org
In this paper, we investigate the influences of nose shape, impact velocity (8–14 m/s), and
impact angle (60–90) on cavity dynamics when a projectile enters water. The Froude …
