Abstract
A study was conducted of modeling changes to the XR-3
Captured Air Bubble Surface Effect Ship digital computer Loads
and Motion program. These changes included the addition of
pressure rate and volume rate to the existing 6 degrees of
freedom equations. Additional equations were developed to
simulate the application of a nonpermeable membrane to the
plenum of the XR-3 test craft. The objectives of this study
were to determine whether the addition of pressure rate and
volume rate equations would improve computer execution time
and to test some simplified models of the plenum membrane.
Computer timing improvements were demonstrated and membrane
modeling results are presented.
