Abstract: The characteristics of cavity flow around a small moving body under the high-speed oblique water-entry are analyzed, and the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved for simulation. The computational method is validated by comparing the simulated results with the experimental results. The characteristics of multiphase flow during water-entry and the influence of entry angle on water-entry flow field are investigated based on the computational method. The results show that the moving body is subjected to large drag, lift, moment and impact in the impact phase; the hemisphere-like high pressure area moves from the lower part of nose tip to the center of nose tip as the moving body continues to penetrate; the direction of velocity of cavity wall points to water first and then the cavity; the small entry angle causes small drag coefficient and impact in the impact phase and trajectory deflection; and the cavity is subsequently pulled away and the maximum size of the cavity is large when the moving body enters the water at a small entry angle.
