Bench for investigation of model of flexible enclosure of air-cushion vessel

摘要

A bench for investigation of the model of flexible enclosure of air-cushion vessel contains an air chamber and an air pump connected with upper tier of the air chamber isolated from the lower tier of air chamber by a simulator of flexible enclosure made from rubberized fabric bent out along the circular arcs of variable radius. For guaranteeing the possibility to simulate the process of lifting the air-cushion vessel, the most approximating the actual conditions, the air pump is located on the ceiling of upper tier; it is freely located in the guide posts of the frame body of air chamber. Air-flow controller is connected with a rigid receiver made in the form of a double pipe bend, which one free end is directed to the simulator of flexible enclosure, and another free end - toward the bottom of air chamber.
