THE NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF ACV''S SKIRT INCLUDING AEROHY-DROELASTICITY EFFECTS
The results of mathematically modeling balloon-type flexible skirts of amphibious air-cushion vehicles (ACV), taking into account aerohydroelasticity effects, are presented. A technique is presented for determining the estimated shape and parameters of the resistance of motion of the skirt currently in use on ACV's. The results of the simulation using the developed technique are compared with the results of some physical experiments.
