Numerical Assessment of Similitude Parameters and Dimensional Analysis for Water Entry Problems

The prediction of impulsive loads deriving from the sudden impact of a solid body on the water surface is of fundamental importance for a wide range of engineering applications. The study of hull-slamming phenomena largely relies on laboratory scale experimental investigations and on simplified anal...
