| Abstract: | We consider the problem of bottom influence during horizontal hydrodynamic impact of a spherical solid body of diameter 2a which is half submerged in a liquid layer of finite depth. The sphere is subjected to the action of a shock pulse, as a result of which it acquires an initial translational velocity u directed along the x-axis.The influence of the spherical bottom on the sphere impact phenomenon was first studied by Zhukovskii 1]. Vertical impact in a layer of finite thickness was considered in 2]; horizontal impact in a halfspace was examined in 3]. |
