MathCAD model for the estimation of cost and main characteristics of air-cushion vehicles in the preliminary design stage
… 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 …

Numerical Modeling of Air Cushion Vehicle Flexible Seals
Air cushion vehicle flexible seals operate in a complex and chaotic environment dominated by fluid-structure interaction. An efficient means to explore interdependencies between various governing parameters that affect performance is through high fidelity numerical simulation. As previous numerical …
