The bow flare slamming load was studied by using the software Ls-dyna. A coupling finite element model including air, water and 3d bow was established. Flare slamming pressure was picked up from the finite element model in order to discuss the relation between flare slamming pressure and the velocity as well as the distribution rule of slamming pressure in different velocity and different water entry angle along the length and height of the ship.
