The wing in ground effect (WIG) ship is an energy saying vessel that uses the lift from its air-wing along with the lift increase from the ground effect by flying low above the sea surface. The WIG Ship should consist of thin plate in order to float on the sea and to fly in the air. Therefore, the structure of WIG, Ship has very thin and light shell plate and stiffener like stringer and frame has comparatively large cross section area. This structure makes shell plate nearly pure shear field when shell plate is pressed by in-plane load. This complex thin plate structure of WIG Ship can he considered as a closed section beam which makes it possible to analyze structure response of WIG Ship affected by shear load and bending load. In this respect, the present study will show basic theory for analysing shear stress and focus on the analysis of structure strength of model WIC Ship's wing.

The purpose of Defense Acquisition Project is that the superior weapons validated needs and performance are supplied to military user with limited financial resources and time. The Warship Acquisition Project is not only like this, But also has special characteristics of long project period and first-constructed ship's operation employment. So, The Warship Acquisition Project need systematic and efficient procedure & management. And this paper researches System engineering application of imaginary WIG(Wing-In-Ground Effect) ship acquisition project based Systems Engineering Handbook ver.3.1 published by INCOSE, the lead of field. The Imaginary WIG(Wing-In-Ground Effect) ship acquisition project applied the four processes(technical project, Enterprise & Agreement, Enabling Systems), the basis of INCOSE Engineering Handbook ver.3.1, and the each process output compared with DAPA(Defense Acquisition Program Administration)'s warship acquisition procedure.

The aerodynamic effects of a 3-dimensional Wing in Ground Effect (WIG) which moves above the free surface has been numerically investigated via finite difference techniques. The air flow field around a WIG is analyzed by a Marker & Cell (MAC) based method, and the interactions between WIG and the free surface are studied by the pressure distributions on the free surface. Waves are generated by the surface pressure distribution, and a Navier-Stokes solver has been employed, to include the nonlinearities in the free surface conditions. The pressure values Cp and lift/drag ratio are reviewed by changing the height/chord ratio. In the present computations a NACA0012 airfoil with a span/chord ratio of 3.0 are treated. Through computational results, it is confirmed that the free surface can be treated as a rigid wavy wall.

항공기가 지면 혹은 해면 위를 낮게 비행할 때 양력이 증가하고 항력이 감소하는 이른바 해면 효과(ground effect)가 발생하게 된다. 위그선 (WIG)선은 이러한 해면 효과를 이용한 선박으로 시속 100~500km의 속도 범위에서 해면 위를 낮게 비행하는 선박을 뜻하며 차세대 초고속 해상 수송수단으로 떠오르고 있다. 본 연구에서는 해면효과로 인한 2차원 위그선 날개 주위의 양항력 변화를 알아보기 위하여 유한체적법 기반의 EDISON-CFD를 사용하였다. 위그선 날개 주위의 유동은 날개와 해면사이의 거리에 영향을 받으므로 날개와 해면사이의 거리에 따른 계산 영역과 격자를 각각 생성 하였다. 본 연구를 통해 날개와 해면 사이의 거리가 가까워 질수록 해면효과에 의하여 위그선 날개의 양력이 증가하였고 항력은 감소되는 결과를 확인할 수 있었다.

The longitudinal stability characteristics of a Wing-In-Ground Effect Craft are quite different from that of the conventional airplane due to the existence of force and moment derivatives with regard to height. This stability characteristics plays a great role in designing a safe and efficient WIG due to its potential danger in sea surface proximity. The static and dynamic stability criteria are derived from the motion equations of WIG in the framework of small disturbance theory and discussed in the paper. The static and dynamic stability analyses of a 20-passenger WIG are conducted based on the wind tunnel test data and the dynamic motion behaviors are investigated for the change of the design parameters. Finally, the flying quality of the 20-passenger WIG is analysed at the cruising condition according to the military regulations.

In the present study, structural safety and stability on the main wing and tail planes of the 1.2 ton WIG(Wing in Ground Effect) flight vehicle, which will be a high speed maritime transportation system for the next generation, was performed. The carbon-epoxy composite material was used in design of wing structure. The skin-spar with skin-stressed structural type was adopted for improvement of lightness and structural stability. As a design procedure for this study, the design load was estimated with maximum flight load. From static strength analysis results using finite element method of the commercial codes. From the stress analysis results of the main wing, it was confirmed that the upper skin structure between the second rib and the third rib was unstable for the buckling load. Therefore in order to solve this problem, three stiffeners at the buckled region were added. After design modification, even though the weight of the wing was a little bit heavier than the target weight, the structural safety and stability was satisfied for design requirements.

This paper is concerned on the generation of an optimal section of wing in ground effect by a SQP method which is one of nonlinear optimization techniques. A potential panel method is used for the flow analysis and the ground effect is taken into account by an image method. The numerical method is first verified by an inverse problem where a shape of wing section is sought for the prescribed pressure distribution. The purpose of the present paper is to generate a wing section which can give a maximum lift subjected to the design constraints including the height stability which is important in the WIG design. The effect of the tail wing is also included.

Marine analysis was made to investigate the hydrodynamic effects of a Wing in Ground (WIG) by means of finite difference techniques. The air flow field around WIG is analyzed by the Marker & Cell (MAC) based method, and the interaction between WIG and the free surface are studied by showing pressure distributions above the free surface. In the latter part, computations are extended to make clear the flow characteristics of a high speed catamaran in the rang of Froude numbers 0.2 to 1.0 with a separation to length ratios of 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5. The Navier-Stokes solver is invoked in which the nonlinear free-surface boundary condition is applied. For the validation, computational results are compared with the experiments.
