Abstract
Based on the volume-of-fluid (VOF) multiphase model and the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model, combined with the overset grid technology of the STAR-CCM+ software, a computational model for the oblique entry of truncated projectiles into water is established. The hydrodynamic characteristics and structural response characteristics of the projectile for various water entry angles are calculated and analyzed, and the evolution law of cavitation is determined. The numerical results are found to be in good agreement with experimental data
