The present study is dedicated to implementing numerical analysis on a two-dimensional symmetric wedge and a three-dimensional cabin section with free fall water entry in order to investigate and build up kinds of relations on parameters, based on the transformation of conservation of momentum theory, such as maximal acceleration and the corresponding velocity.
