The theory of Wagner from 1932 for the normal symmetric impact of a two-dimensional body of small deadrise angle on a half-space of ideal and incompressible liquid is extended to derive the second-order corrections for the locations of the higher-pressure jet-root regions and for the upward force on the impactor using a systematic matched-asymptotic analysis. The second-order predictions for the upward force on an entering wedge and parabola are compared with numerical and experimental data, respectively, and it is concluded that a significant improvement in the predictive capability of Wagner's theory is afforded by proceeding to second order.
