Floating body impact : asymptotic and numerical solutions

This thesis is concerned with the estimate of hydrodynamic loads generated during the water entry of bodies, originally floating on a still liquid surface. The analysis assumes the fluid to be ideal and the flow potential. The liquid is treated as incompressible, but the effects of weak compressibil...
