Abstract
As is well known, the collision between a liquid mass and a solid surface can generate high transient pressures and cause significant damage, particularly if the impact velocity is high. The high pressures have been attributed to compressible behaviour in the liquid. The fact that numerous situations exist in which such collisions occur has made the study of liquid impact crucial for the further development of related technologies. However, despite considerable activity in the subject there exists a large number of unexplained and poorly understood phenomena associated with liquid impact1. The reasons for this are connected with the fact that the high pressures and much of the damage formation takes place during a very short time period following initial contact, and as we will show, involve a complex dependence on the geometry of the liquid and solid surface in the contact area.
