WATER IMPACT: EXPERIMENTAL TESTS AND NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS USING MESHLESS METHODS

The outcomes of a research focusing on water modelling and fluid-structure interaction, are here presented. A number of water impact drop tests using a typical aircraft skin panel were performed. The tests were numerically reproduced modelling the fluid region using the two meshless methods implemented in LSTC/LS-Dyna 971: the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics and the Element Free Galerkin method. The accuracy of the models was evaluated referring to the data collected in the tests.
