In this paper, the resistance acting on Multi-Purpose Amphibious Vehicle (MAV) hull navigated in regular waves condition was investigated numerically. A simplified MAV model was established for computing the resistance of air cushion effect on regular head waves. Simulations were carried out in fini...
