Experimental observation on water entry of a sphere in regular wave

This paper presents a novel experiment to observe the whole water entry process of a free-falling sphere into a regular wave. A time-accurate synchronizing system modulates the moment elaborately to ensure the sphere impacting onto the water surface at the desirable wave phase. Four high-speed camer...
