Water drop impact on a water surface Abaqus

Project Overview

This tutorial focuses on the impact of a water drop on a water surface using the Abaqus software.

The main objective of this example is to simulate the interaction between the water drop and the water surface and to investigate the behavior of the water during the impact process.

Problem Description

In this example, both the water and the water drop are modeled in the Eulerian part. The water drop falls toward the water surface under the effect of Earth's gravity and impacts the water surface.

The impact process is simulated in Abaqus, and the deformation and movement of the water are investigated during the interaction between the water drop and the water surface.

Eulerian Analysis

The Eulerian method is used to model both the water and the falling water drop. This approach is particularly suitable for problems involving large deformation and significant movement of fluids.

In this model, the water and water drop are defined within the Eulerian domain, while the effect of Earth's gravity is considered throughout the analysis.

Water Drop Impact

During the analysis, the water drop moves downward under gravity and eventually impacts the water surface. The interaction between the water drop and the water surface is then simulated using Abaqus.

The evolution of the water drop impact can be observed at different times during the simulation.

Simulation Results

The results obtained from the Abaqus simulation show the behavior of the water drop as it approaches and impacts the water surface. The deformation and movement of the water can be observed throughout the analysis.

The simulation results are presented at different time points, including T = 0, T = 0.0475, T = 0.07, T = 0.1025, T = 0.1225, and T = 0.245.
