Three-dimensional flow field generated by a moving surface pressure distribution is calculated with an emphasis on estimating the bottom pressure signature of an air cushion vehicle. Analytical studies yield singularities and periodic functions with large oscillations in the integrals. The singularities are removed by the Cauchy’s residue theorem and the resulting integrals are numerically evaluated by the use of adaptive quadrature integrations.
