Tail slamming significantly compromises structural integrity, resulting in intense impact loads during water entry.
The pitching moment is the main driver of tail slamming, influenced by the water-entry angle and velocity.
A numerical model validated against experimental data reveals dynamic behaviors during high-speed water entry.
Understanding these mechanics may support the design of underwater vehicles to withstand intense impact forces.
