Abstract

This paper presented the development of a new experimental and numerical technique for the investigation of slamming impact. The in-house code was developed, based on the boundary element method. The application of commercial code was attempted using FLUENT. Pneumatic cylinder and LM-guide were introduced to closely simulate the free fall phenomenon. It was demonstrated that the proposed experimental and numerical studies can be useful tools in investigating slamming phenomenon.
