MathCAD model for the estimation of cost and main characteristics of air-cushion vehicles in the preliminary design stage
In the naval architecture terminology, the term ACV (Air Cushion Vehicle) refers to this category of vehicles, in which a significant portion of the weight (or all the weight) is supported by forces arising from air pressures developed around the craft, as a result of which they hover in close …

SPH Simulation of Fluid-Structure Interaction Problems with Application to Hovercraft
… a deformable, pressurized surface, such as an ACV/SES bow seal. The dynamics of deformable surfaces such as the skirt/seal systems of the ACV/SES utilize the large-deformation FEM model. The fluid part including the air inside the chamber and water are simulated by SPH. A validation case is …
