This paper numerically investigated the hydrodynamic resistance of Multipurpose Amphibious Vehicles (MAV) in three bow shapes to approach the better hull bow shape design. This type of vehicle and other blunt-shaped floating vehicles encounter the problem of a large bow wave forming at high speeds....
