State-of-the-Art of WIG(Wing-In-Ground Effect) Ships and Application of the Computational Fluid Dynamics

위그선 연구현황과 전산유체역학의 응용

The paper introduces the state-of-the art of WIG ship and application field of the CFD to WIG ship development. WIG ships are highly efficient and fast transport vehicles which take advantage of benefits of ground effect. Chapter 1 describes the characteristics of WIG ship. Chapter 2 reviews the research works of Russia, German, Chinese, Korea and etc. Chapter 3 explains the kind of WIG ship categorized by the main operational mode and take-off system. Chapter 4 describes about the application field of CFD to WIG ship development procedure.
