Abstract
Analytical leading-order solutions are given for various liquid bodies in translational motion that hit a plane wall in impulsive impact at constant velocity. The initial velocity field and the associated virtual masses are calculated for selected liquid bodies of uniform density. We consider 2D and 3D wedges, a cone, the semi-circle and the hemisphere. Sideways force impulses are obtained for 2D bodies. The loss of mechanical energy during impact is calculated for a 2D wedge.
