A Conditional Perspective of the Ship Airwake
AIAA JournalThe airwake of a simplified frigate model was measured using a synchronous, dual-plane, stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (PIV) approach. Four pairs of orthogonal streamwise and spanwise plane combinations were surveyed over the flight deck. Synchronous PIV measurements allowed the three-dimensional airwake structure to be examined during two ...

Numerical Study of Helicopter Rotors in a Ship Airwake
Journal of Aircraft, 2014Operating helicopters in a naval environment is challenging because it imposes a pilot workload significantly higher than that during land-based operations. The aerodynamic interaction between the aircraft and the ship wake is known to play an important role in increasing the pilot workload, hence reducing the aircraft capability as a result of ...

Ship airwake effects on the helicopter rotor aerodynamic loads
19th Atmospheric Flight Mechanics Conference, 1994A previously developed approach to modeling and simulation of ship airwake has been used in the study of airwake effects on rotor aerodynamic loads of a four-bladed articulated rotor system. Using full scale at sea test data, the current study identifies a power spectral model for the vertical component of the ship airwake velocity.

Unstructured Grids for Ship Unsteady Airwakes: A Successful Validation
Naval Engineers Journal, 2002ABSTRACTThe unsteady airflow over the aftdeck of the LPD 17 is computed. The primary goal of this paper is to demonstrate that a computational capability is available to confidently predict the airwake about ship superstructures. The unstructured mesh based incompressible flow solver, FEFLO, is used to compute this unsteady flow.

Investigation of Ship Airwakes Using a Hybrid Computational Methodology
Proceedings of the Vertical Flight Society 70th Annual Forum, 2014The simple frigate shape geometry (SFS2) has been studied in free-air and wind tunnel environments for both headwind and yawed flow configurations. The ability of an unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) solver and a URANS/Vorticity Transport hybrid computational methodology to capture the bluff body wake characteristics has been ...

A Fundamental Investigation of Ship Airwake Influence on Rotorcraft
Proceedings of the Vertical Flight Society 80th Annual ForumRotorcraft responses to idealized disturbances are examined to gain insights into model fidelity requirements for flight simulations of the ship-rotorcraft dynamic interface. Two disturbance fields are considered: an isolated straight vortex that represents the canonical vortex that results from the corners of flat top ships in oblique wind ...

Numerical Modeling of Coupled VSTOL-Ship Airwake Flowfields
Volume 2, Parts A and B, 2004Validation of CRUNCH CFD® for problems of relevance to modeling coupled VSTOL-Ship Airwake flow fields is presented. The basic numerical framework consists of an edge based multi-element unstructured Navier-Stokes solver. The governing equations are solved using an upwind biased MUSCL scheme and an implicit scheme is used for time marching.
