英文摘要：

To investigate the influences of the air-hole factors （hole diameter, distance between holes, hole group posi- tion, etc. ） of an air cushion belt conveyor on its air field form, a research model was built based on theory of gas flow field characteristics. The air-hole influences were comprehensive simulated by using the computational fluid dynamics software, and the results were processed and analyzed by using the numerical method. Thus the ways of the air-hole factors＇ impacting on the cushion field were revealed. According to simulated data, the comparative experiments are carried out. The simulation results are well verified by the experimental data. The air-hole design method for air cushion belt conveyors was put forward based on the theory of air field. The optimal air-hole design parameters were given. The design methodology for air cushion belt conveyors was improved.
