Experimental investigation of the flow on a simple frigate shape (SFS). [PDF]
Helicopters operations on board ships require special procedures introducing additional limitations known as ship helicopter operational limitations (SHOLs) which are a priority for all navies. This paper presents the main results obtained from the experimental investigation of a simple frigate shape (SFS) which is a typical case of study in ...

An Investigation of Ship Airwakes by Scale Adaptive Simulation [PDF]
An early assessment of the ship airwakes flow characteristic is one of the most challenging tasks associated with the designing of vessels. The presence of ship airwake creates very complex flow phenomena due to the presence of strong velocity gradients ...

The Numerical Simulation of UAV's Landing in Ship Airwake [PDF]
In order to investigate the influence of ship airwake on aerodynamic characteristics of the carrier-based aircraft, UAV's landings in different winds over deck were simulated by Overset Mesh method. Firstly, mesh factors, steady and unsteady methods were

Entropy-based detached-eddy simulation of the airwake over a simple frigate shape
The wind past the ship superstructure produces an unsteady turbulent airwake which has a significant effect on aircraft performance and consequently pilot workload during ship landing process.
