Abstract
In this chapter we will take our review of air cavity mechanisms introduced in Chap. 3 a step further. We will look at applying a number of configurations for air cavity generation below the hull of displacement vessels and discuss initial design evaluation of a number of examples.

Notes
- 1.
It may be noted here that a consequence of the insensitivity to flow rate above the minimum value is that if a flexible stern cavity seal is installed rather than a fixed ramp, the effect of waves passing through the cavity may be damped and minimize the vessel motions and accelerations, so long as higher flow rate is maintained and the cavity depth is suitable. This has been employed on higher speed planing ACC in Europe.
