A Simple Experiment to Measure the Splash Mass Produced by a Free-Falling Buoyant Sphere Impacting a Deep Quiescent Liquid

Experimental data show that the splash mass produced by a free-falling buoyant sphere impacting a water surface is a function of its impact velocity raised to the power 2.67 ± 0.06. This result is consistent with wave tank experiments on a scale model of a fishing vessel where the splash flux was fo...

Zusammenfassung:	Experimental data show that the splash mass produced by a free-falling buoyant sphere impacting a water surface is a function of its impact velocity raised to the power 2.67 ± 0.06. This result is consistent with wave tank experiments on a scale model of a fishing vessel where the splash flux was found to be a function of the ship's velocity raised to the power of 2.95 ± 0.40.
