The effect of ship shape and anemometer location on wind speed measurements obtained from ships [PDF]
Wind speed measurements obtained from ship-mounted anemometers are biased by the distortion of the airflow around the ship's hull and superstructure. These wind speed measurements are used both in numerical weather prediction and in climate studies and ...

Study of Flow Control Device For Ship Airwakes
Nowadays combined operation of a ship and helicopter is ubiquitous in every naval organization. The operation of a helicopter onto smaller naval ships over the sea is a challenging task and results into very complex flow phenomena due to the presence of ship air wakes, strong velocity gradients coupled with widely varying turbulence length scales.

NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF SHIP AIRWAKES INTERACTION WITH HELICOPETR FUSELAGE
In recent years, ship helicopter combined operation strengthens the naval forces across the globe. However, the launch and recovery of a helicopter from the flight deck of a ship can be a formidable task for the experienced test pilot. This difficulty arises due to several harsh environmental conditions like ship’s airwake, wind-over-deck (WOD ...

Helicopter Shipboard Operation: Effect of Atmospheric Boundary Layer on Turbulent Ship Airwake and Rotor Aerodynamic Loads [PDF]
This paper studies the effect of two different boundary layer models on the airwake of the Simple Frigate Shape 1 and further on the unsteady aerodynamic loads of a scaled helicopter model operating inside the ship airwake.
