Abstract This paper examines the hydrodynamic problem of a two-dimensional symmetric and asymmetric wedge water entry through freefall motion. The gravity effect on the flow is considered and because of precise simulation close to the real phenomenon, the oblique slamming is analyzed. The defined problem is numerically studied using SIMPLE and HRIC schemes and by implementing an overset mesh approach. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the numerical model, the present results are compared and validated with previous experimental studies and showed good agreement. The results are presented and compared for each symmetry and asymmetry in different deadrise angles, drop heights and heel angles. Based on a comparison of the measured vertical acceleration of the experimental wedge data, it is determined that the proposed numerical method has relatively good accuracy in predicting the slamming phenomenon and wedge response. The influence of viscous regime on water entry simulations is investigated, in according to results, effect of viscosity is negligible. Results show that the heel angle dramatically affects the wedge dynamics, pile-up evolution, and pressure distribution. These results suggest evidence for a complex interaction between geometric parameters on the water entry of rigid wedges, which could finally develop our understanding of planing vessels operating in real sea conditions.

The prediction of impulsive loads deriving from the sudden impact of a solid body on the water surface is of fundamental importance for a wide range of engineering applications. The study of hull-slamming phenomena largely relies on laboratory scale experimental investigations and on simplified analytical models. The aim of this paper is to quantitatively assess the interplay between the relevant nondimensional parameters for the water entry of a two-dimensional body, evidencing the similitude conditions that allow the transition from scaled experiments to real size applications. This assessment is performed through the numerical study of the hydrodynamics induced by the water impact of a two-dimensional wedge. The fluid flow is considered incompressible. First of all numerical simulations are validated by comparison with experimental data from the literature and with the Wagner seminal theory. Afterwards, a thorough computational study is performed by systematically varying all the relevant parameters, such as the nondimensional entry velocity and acceleration. We conclude by evidencing some design prescriptions that should be adopted in order to facilitate the transition of laboratory scale experiments to real scale applications.

An analytical and numerical study of two-dimensional unsteady planing of a flat plate is presented. The immersion of the plate is assumed small; hence, the spray at the leading edge is represented by a square root singularity. The analogy to airfoil theory is used and the hydrodynamic problem is solved in the time domain. The time-varying wetted-length change due to the water flow is accounted for by a generalized Wagner approach. The present theory is verified by comparison with an analytical solution by Sedov (1940) for water entry of a planing plate and with the linear frequency domain solution by Bessho & Komatsu (1984) for a heaving planing plate.

The two-dimensional(2D) materials are highly promising candidates to realise elegant and e cient transistor. In the present letter, we conjecture a novel co-planar metal-insulator-semiconductor(MIS) device(capacitor) completely based on lateral 2D materials architecture and perform numerical study of the capacitor with a particular emphasis on its di erences with the conventional 3D MIS electrostatics. The space-charge density features a long charge-tail extending into the bulk of the semiconductor as opposed to the rapid decay in 3D capacitor. Equivalently, total space-charge and semiconductor capacitance densities are atleast an order of magnitude more in 2D semiconductor. In contrast to the bulk capacitor, expansion of maximum depletion width in 2D semiconductor is observed with increasing doping concentration due to lower electrostatic screening. The heuristic approach of performance analysis(2D vs 3D) for digital-logic transistor suggest higher ON-OFF current ratio in the long-channel limit even without third dimension and considerable room to maximise the performance of short-channel transistor. The present results could potentially trigger the exploration of new family of co-planar at transistors that could play a signi significant role in the future low-power and/or high performance electronics.<br>

An extensive numerical study on specific heat at constant volume (Cv) for ordered and isotopically disordered lattices has been made. Cv at various temperatures for ordered and disordered linear and two-dimensional lattices have been compared and no appreciable difference in Cv between these two structures has been observed. Effect of concentration of light atoms on Cv for three-dimensional isotopically disordered lattices has also been shown.In spite of taking next-nearest-neighbour interaction into account, no substantial change in Cv between the ordered and isotopically disordered linear lattices has been found. It is shown that the low lying modes contribute substantially at low temperatures.
