Computations of water impact on a two-dimensional flat-bottomed body with a volume-of-fluid method

The authors have carried out numerical computations of water impact on a two-dimensional flat-bottomed body using a volume-of-fluid method based on a modified SOLA-VOF code. The method has a flexibility of allowing air flows to be considered in the computations. The results are found to be consistent with those presented in another investigation, although the assumptions of the present study are much simplified and the conditions of impact were slightly different.
