Numerical prediction of symmetric water impact loads on wedge shaped hull form using CFD
journal contribution

The accurate prediction of slamming loads, and their consequences on light-weight high-speed vessels, is an essential element of efficient structural design. The aim of this work is to understand and accurately predict the behavior and local slam loads of quasi-2D wedge shaped hull forms impacting water. The computed results, using finite-volume Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), are validated against drop test experimental data and compared to a previously published numerical simulation using Smoothed Par-ticle Hydrodynamics (SPH). The CFD results show good agreement with the experimental measurements.
