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.
