MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF AEROHYDRODYNAMIC OF AMPHIBIOUS AIR-CUSHION VEHICLE WITH AERODYNAMIC UNLOADING ON CUSHION REGIME

Abstract

The technique has been presented for simulation of amphibious air-cushion vehicle with aerodynamic unloading on cushion regime. The technique based on supercomputing technologies of numerical experiment, which allow to modeling turbulent flow with water-air interface. Results of simulations correlated with towing model experiments results, which have been performed in water basin of Krylov State Research Centre.

Keywords: amphibious vehicle, air-cushion, aerodynamic unloading, mathematical modeling, numerical simulation, aerohydrodynamics, towing resistance.
