On the energy economics of air lubrication drag reduction
International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2012 Air lubrication techniques for frictional drag reduction on ships have been proposed by numerous researchers since the 19th century. However, these techniques have not been widely adopted as questions persist about their drag reduction performance beyond

Air cushioning with a lubrication/inviscid balance [PDF]
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2003 The air cushioning effect in the gap between an almost inviscid body of water and a nearby solid wall (or another body of water) is studied theoretically and is found to depend on predominantly lubricating forces in the air, in certain applications. The situation in which the density and viscosity in air are taken as small compared with those in water ...
