... An additional transport equation for the void fraction of one of the fluids is solved to determine the spatial distribution of the two fluids, and a special discretization scheme for the convective fluxes in the void fraction transport equation is used to achieve a sharp interface between the two fluids and to ensure void fractions bounded between zero and unity. Investigating water entry of flared ships sections, Arai et al.
From page 639...
... They found that the motion history of water entry significantly affected predicted pressures. We computed water entry processes for a flared ship section and a wedge and compared numerical results with measurements.
From page 640...
... Ideally, its discretization should neither produce numerical diffusion nor unbounded values of the volume fraction, i.e. the value of the volume fraction in each cell should lie between the minimum and maximum value of the neighbor cells.

... 3 Results ant} discussion We systematically applied the new computational method to simulate water entry phenomena. Twodimensional simulations of water entry of a flared ship section and two- as well as three-dimensional simulations of water entry of a wedge were compared with experimental data of Zhao et al.

... Figure 7 shows time series of predicted vertical force Fz during water entry including measurements. Numerical results showed that the 775 CVs grid was not sufficiently fine to capture the maximum vertical force.

... Table 7 lists the CPU times for three-dimensional computations described above. To save CPU time, we performed the simulation on the 206848 CVs grid until water entry of the keel with fewer time steps.

... The finite volume discretization technique dealt with complex geometries based on control volumes with an arbitrary number of cell faces. Our method was systematically applied to simulate two problems of water entry.

... , the spatial discretization scheme selected is dependent on the time step used. It means ~at, when the method is applied to steady-state problems, the final solution is dependent on the time step size.

... This is a first step towards developing a rational method for three-dimensional slamming load on ships. Water entry of axisymmetric bodies with small local deadrise angles are studied analytically by for instance Shiffman and Spencer(1951)
From page 653...
... This makes it unneces sary to find the intersection line between the body and free surface. The intersection angle is very small for bodies with small deadrise angles and will cause numerical problems(Greenhow(1987~.
