Experimental insights on the water entry of hydrophobic sphere

Sharey Deep Guleria et al.

Summary: This article presents experimental insights into the physics of water entry of hydrophobic spheres. Various parameters and dynamics of the trapped air-cavity are studied, including cavity formation, retraction, and Worthington-jet analysis. Different cavity shapes exhibit unique radial dynamics and surface energy characteristics, with specific behaviors such as bubble shedding observed for shallow seal conditions.

Scaling laws for the water entry of a three-dimensional body

Claudio Lugni et al.

Summary: The present experimental investigation focused on conducting tests on model scale and interpreting the results for the water entry of a free-falling conical body shape entrapping an air cavity. Measurements of acceleration, velocity, and pressure field in the air cavity were accurately performed. The uniqueness of the results highlights the need for further similar studies to fully understand the universality of the scaling law for this physical phenomenon.

Impact force reduction by consecutive water entry of spheres

Rafsan Rabbi et al.

Summary: The study shows that throwing another object in front of a free-falling object impacting onto water surface can reduce the impact force in some cases, but the effect varies under different conditions. The formation of cavity by the first object and the timing of impact by the second object are found to influence the impact acceleration on the trailing object.

Dynamics of the cavity evolution during vertical water entry of deformable spheres

Liu Yang et al.

Summary: Experimental and numerical studies have shown that deformable spheres can form three typical cavities during vertical water entry: dumpy cavity, tight cavity, and nested cavity. Elasticity of the material can alter the shape of the cavity, requiring specific impact conditions and material properties. The minimum velocity required to form the nested cavity has been theoretically predicted and validated using experimental and numerical techniques.
