Review of the Development on Load Reduction Methods for Water Entry of High-Speed Vehicles

Abstract

The water entry process of high-speed vehicles involves complex fluid-structure interaction between multiple phase flows and vehicles, which can result in transient impact loads and potential structural damage. In this paper, a brief description of the high-speed water entry impact problem for vehicles is provided, with a focus on the current development of active and passive load reduction methods for vehicles. Additionally, the paper provides a summary of the advantages and disadvantages of common methods for reducing water entry loads, and elucidates the key research directions for reducing water entry loads of vehicles, aiming to provide a reference for further study on the characteristics of water entry loads and the load reduction methods of vehicles at high speeds.
