Abstract :
The basic model for computing resistance of air cushion craft bow skirt is established, simulations are carried out in finite element analysis software ANSYS CFX to compute the coefficient of bow skirt resistance. According to the results, the law of the effect of skirt finger inclination angle on skirt resistance coefficient is showed, and which provides a reference for hovercraft hull design.
