When a blunt body impacts an air–water interface, large hydrodynamic forces often arise, a
phenomenon many of us have unfortunately experienced in a failed dive or 'belly flop' …

Certain fox species plunge-dive into snow to catch prey (eg, rodents), a hunting mechanism
called mousing. Red and arctic foxes can dive into snow at speeds ranging between 2 and 4 …

Wedge water entry can be used to study slamming on high-speed craft, seaplane landing,
and biological flows such as birds diving into the water. The focus of this paper is on …

The prediction and reduction of impact loads during water entry are critical in various
engineering applications, such as ship slamming and seaplane landings. Traditional …

Competitive divers are able to attain much higher scores when they perform a splash-less
entry. To achieve this goal, they use the “rip” entry maneuver where they roll their body …

This study explores the impact of feathers on the hydrodynamic drag experienced by diving
birds, which is critical to their foraging efficiency and survival. Employing a novel …

In the present study, we investigate the water entry of three hollow cylinders with fronts of
different fillet radii of 0, 5, and 10 mm. Particular attention is given to the effect of fillet radius …
