  In recent years, forest fires and maritime accidents have occurred
frequently, which have had a bad impact on human production and life. Thus, the
development of seaplanes is an increasingly urgent demand. It is important to
study the taxiing process of seaplanes for the development of seaplanes, which
is a strong nonlinear fluid-structure interaction problem. In this paper, the
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method based on the Lagrangian framework
is utilized to simulate the taxiing process of seaplanes, and the SPH results
are compared with those of the Finite Volume Method (FVM) based on the Eulerian
method. The results show that the SPH method can not only give the same
accuracy as the FVM but also have a strong ability to capture the splashing
waves in the taxiing process, which is quite meaningful for the subsequent
study of the effect of a splash on other parts of the seaplane.
