- This paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation of the entry of a rigid square flat plate into pure and aerated water. The study is novel and particularly challenging in its use of aerated water and reveals that the impact loading consists of three distinctive stages in terms of its strength and duration. It was found that aeration introduced into water can effectively reduce local pressures and total forces on the flat plate with implications for fluid loadings on structures under wave impact conditions. The work is funded by the EPSRC and is a successful collaboration between two UK universities.
