Numerical Simulation of Surface Effect Ship Air Cushion and Free Surface Interaction

This thesis presents the results from the computational fluid dynamics simulations of surface effect ship model tests. The model tests being simulated are of a generic T-Craft model running in calm seas through a range of Froude numbers and in two head seas cases with regular waves. Simulations we...
