Water Entry Impact Shock on Flat Faced Cylindrical Missiles

Abstract

Impact shock dynamics, including shock force and impulse as functions of time, are described for a flat faced cylindrical missile striking a smooth water surface with the missile's axis either normal or oblique to the water's surface. Shock dynamics calculations were facilitated by the development of a computer program, IMPACT, the use of which is described and a code listing given.
