CAVITY SHAPES AT VERTICAL WATER ENTRY; A COMPARISON OF CALCULATED AND OBSERVED SHAPES.

Abstract

For vertical water entries which result in the formation of open cavities, the cavity shapes as predicted by Birkoff's hydraulic flow model are shown to correspond very well to observed cavity shapes for spheres of different sizes and materials. (Author)
