It can be concluded, from experimental and numerical findings,
that waterhammer theory explains the problem of the base drop
impact of the fluid-filled containers better than the mass-spring
model. The numerical results compare well with experimental
observations. Hence, the two-system FVM numerical procedure
applied shows a great potential for solving other impact problems
involving fluid-filled bodies having complex geometries, such as side
drop impacts, inverted drop impacts, crashes of reservoirs, and so on.
