Take in the progression from surface to depth at three kilometers per second in less than a fifty-thousandth of a second. The artificially colored density gradients of the simulation accentuate the swirling dance of water and air as the surface rises up and the shock wave descends. What can an insignificant sphere teach us as we delve into the depths of high-speed water entry? This extreme struggle between steel and water is at the edge of the unknown, but could yield tantalizing insights into the damage a naval ship might experience from future high-speed projectiles. The study of a simple sphere could lead to lives being saved. Imagine the impact. 2024-02-06T21:30:27+00:00 05 Joshua Smith Case Western Reserve University Julia Teran 9aca9c408841ff28b321d7128a1e5c918a151e1d
