Parametric Study on the Free-Fall Water Entry of a Sphere by Using the RANS Method

Motivated by the application of water-entry problems in the air-drop deployment of a spherical oceanographic measuring device, the free-fall water entry of a sphere was numerically investigated by using the transient Reynolds-averaged Navier−Stokes (RANS) method. A convergence study was ca...
