Impact between a rigid flat plate and the free surface of water was investigated experimentally and theoretically. Under two-dimensional conditions, the experiments give values of peak pressure of the same order as those recorded on ships slamming at sea, but very much smaller then would be expected from existing theories. New theoretical work is presented which takes account of the air trapped between the model and the water movement. The shows good general agreement with the experiments, though further work is needed to confirm some of the assumptions made. (Author)
