Abstract
A numerical framework for analysing the interaction between a flexible bag of air cushion vehicles (ACVs) and solitary waves was presented. The effects of different solitary waves on the characteristics of the initial interaction processes, average pressures over the flexible bag induced by waves, internal pressures of the flexible bag, wave forces, maximum deformations, and maximum principal stresses at the joints were presented. We predicted that the solitary wave induces two types of initial interaction processes. The flexible bag bounced for the first interaction type and was tucked under the deck for the second type. Transitions from these processes induced changes in the hydrodynamic and structural behaviours of the flexible bag, indicating that solitary waves should be considered for the design and operation of ACVs.
