In order to investigate the evolution of vertical water-entry cavity of a sphere, a numerical simulation for modeling the vertical water-entry of a sphere was performed, which is based on Navier-Stokes equations, volume of fluid model and dynamic mesh. It showed that numerical results compared favorably with the experimental results, which verified the accuracy of the simulation method. In addition, during the early period of the water entry, there was a high impact load on the sphere and a splash rose from the surface, and then a water-entry cavity which was open to the atmosphere formed. The cavity experienced development, closure and collapse periods after its formation. Pressure acting on the cavity was the main cause of the deep closure, and high speed up-jet and down-jet appeared after the closure.
Aiming to study the wave effects on the water-exit process of aquatic-aerial vehicles, a hemispherical-head axisymmetric vehicle are simulated to exit through different irregular waves based on the P-M spectrum. Both kinetic and dynamic profiles of the vehicle are extracted. The results demonstrate that the normal force mainly originates from the asymmetric pressure distribution on the cylinder part of the vehicle, and the pitching moment from the asymmetry on the head and the tail. Concerning the horizontal displacement of the gravity center and the pitching angle, the magnitudes are entwined with the height difference between the crest and trough that the vehicle encounters, while the directions with the stage of the crest/trough transition.

The matching design of thrust and drag is the core issue in the design of air-breathing vehicles. In order to obtain the drag trait of the inlet and reduce the interior drag, and then improve the overall performance of the air-breathing vehicles, a study on the cold-flow drag trait of a supersonic, twin-duct inlet is conducted with a CFD method. By comparing the flow characteristics and drag trait of the inlets with different length, turning angle, divergence ratio of the curved ducts, drag allocation proportion of different parts of the inlet is acquired and effects of the geometric parameters on the flow structure and drag are attained. Results indicate that a flow separation will probably generate in the curved duct of a twin-duct inlet at a cold-flow condition, which results in a large loss of the flow. It is noted that the drag of the curved duct accounts for majority of the entire inlet when there is no spilled flow. The drag of the curved duct can be reduced by decreasing the turning angle or increasing the divergence ratio of the curved duct. However, due to the interrelationship between the curved ducts' length and turning radius, the drag of the curved duct firstly reduces and then turns to rising with the increment of the curved ducts' length at a fixed design condition.
In order to obtain the load-bearing characteristics of large diameter bolt under typical connection structure, ground test research on the basis of finite element analysis is carried out, which obtains the axial force and additional bending moment of large diameter bolt and revealsits failure mechanism. Analysis and test show that the additional bending moment is an important factor affecting the load-bearing capacity of large diameter bolts. After considering the additional bending moment, the equivalent axial force is several times of the initial axial force, which must be paid attention to in the design work. The formula for calculating the strength of large diameter bolt considering the influence of additional bending moment is proposed, which improves the accuracy. In addition, the method of reducing the additional bending moment of large diameter bolt is studied, and the direction of structural optimization is pointed out.
