Numerical Simulation of Cushioning Problem for Blunt Bodies Using Boundary Element Method

Induced air pressure and resulting free surface profile due to air cushioning layer is studied. The study is mainly focused on 2D blunt circular bodies with constant downward speed. The problem is first solved for the air flow between the body and the free surface of the water. Then the results are...
