Controlled and impulsive compression of an entrapped air bubble during impact
Utkarsh Jain, Devaraj van der Meer
Wave slamming onto a structure is often accompanied by the entrapment of an air pocket. A large scale impact typically has a rapidly evolving and disturbed liquid-gas interface, su…
Air-cushioning effect and Kelvin-Helmholtz instability before the slamming of a disk on water
Utkarsh Jain, Anais Gauthier, Detlef Lohse +1
The macroscopic dynamics of a droplet impacting a solid is crucially determined by the intricate air dynamics occurring at the vanishingly small length scale between droplet and su…
Air Entrapment and its effect on Pressure Impulses in the slamming of a Flat Disc on Water
Utkarsh Jain, Patricia Vega-Martínez, Devaraj van der Meer
The presence of ambient air in liquid-slamming events plays a crucial role in influencing the shape of the liquid surface prior to the impact, and the distribution of loads created…
On wedge-slamming pressures
Utkarsh Jain, Vladimir Novakovic, Hannes Bogaert +1
The water entry of a wedge has become a model test in marine and naval engineering research. Wagner theory, originating in 1932, predicts impact pressures, and accounts for contrib…
Total-internal-reflection deflectometry for measuring small deflections of a fluid surface
Utkarsh Jain, Anaïs Gauthier, Devaraj van der Meer
We describe a method that uses total internal reflection at the water-air interface inside a large, transparent tank, to measure the interface's deflections. Using this configurati…
