Overview

Randomized trial investigates the cause of pressure oscillations in high-resolution fluid simulations, suggesting a new assessment method.

Key Points

  • This research explores the numerical mechanisms behind pressure oscillations during the wedge water entry process.
  • Investigated numerical simulations of wedge water entry using a finite-volume discretisation framework.
  • Examined transitions in VOF discretisation from downwind to blended upwind-downwind formulation.
  • Proposed a simplified approach for evaluating oscillation effects on hydroelastic coupling.
  • Pressure oscillations result from momentum imbalance due to variations in mass flux and velocity between computational cells.
  • Mechanism linked to the transition in VOF interface-capturing discretisation.
  • Frequency of oscillations depends on water entry velocity, grid size, and deadrise angle.
