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 ...

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.

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 ...

Aerodynamic/flow field numerical simulation of carrier-based UAV landing in sea wind field
During the landing phase of a carrier-based fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV), the aircraft must traverse a highly complex aerodynamic environment characterized by the intricate wind field over the sea surface and the turbulent flow field at the ...
