Analyzing the static water impact of amphibious aircraft is essential. In this study, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software FLUENT is employed to numerically simulate the water response of a wedge-shaped hull in static water. This approach facilitates a detailed analysis of the hull's behavior under water landing conditions.
