Three-dimensional oblique water-entry problems at small deadrise angles

This paper extends Wagner theory for the ideal, incompressible normal impact of rigid bodies that are nearly parallel to the surface of a liquid half-space. The impactors considered are three-dimensional and have an oblique impact velocity. A variational formulation is used to reveal the relationshi...
