Experimental and numerical investigation for a reliable simulation tool for oblique water entry problems

Therefore, the ABAQUS software is applied for simulation of oblique water entry problem in the second stage and the results are compared with experiments. Upon comparison of various experimental results with this software output, it is shown that the numerical algorithm in this computer program (ALE) can be reliably used to simulate this kind of fluid solid interaction problem and determine the impact forces and moments more precisely even in the extreme angles and velocities of water entry problems.
