Numerical Simulation Investigation of the Air Cushion Suspension Technology

Article Preview

Abstract:

The work condition of the air cushion suspension technology was simulated numerically based on CFD technology. In order to comparing with different work conditions, at the beginning of the subject, three different pressure inputs have been given. Based on the velocity magnitude cloud and streamlines, the vortices generated by the input flow on the wall of the air cushion balloon had also been investigated and some conclusions were drawn.
