Experimental Investigation of the Fluid-Structure Interaction during the Water Impact of Thin Aluminium Plates at High Horizontal Speed
Emanuele Spinosa, Alessandro Iafrati
The water impact of an inclined flat plate and at high horizontal velocity is experimentally investigated with focus on the fluid-structure interaction aspects. Several test condit…
Water entry and exit of 2D and axisymmetric bodies
Alessandro Del Buono, Giovanni Bernardini, Alan Tassin +1
The present paper is dedicated to the development of a numerical model for the water impact of two-dimensional (2D) and axisymmetric bodies with imposed motion. The work is a first…
Cavitation and ventilation modalities during ditching
Alessandro Iafrati, Silvano Grizzi
The flow taking place in the rear part of the fuselage during the emergency landing on water is investigated experimentally in realistic conditions. To this aim, tests on a double…
A fully nonlinear iterative solution method for self-similar potential flows with a free boundary
Alessandro Iafrati
An iterative solution method for fully nonlinear boundary value problems governing self-similar flows with a free boundary is presented. Specifically, the method is developed for a…
