Rotor-Obstacle Aerodynamic Interaction in Hovering Flight: An Experimental Survey [PDF]
Despite the presence of a fair number of numerical and experimental works on the rotor-obstacle interaction, a systematic study of the aerodynamic phenomena involved is lacking.

The Development and Use of A Piloted Flight Simulation Environment for Rotary-Wing Operation to the Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers [PDF]
Flight simulation is being used to inform the First of Class Flight Trials for the UK’s new Queen Elizabeth Class (QEC) aircraft carriers. The carriers will operate with the Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II fighter aircraft, i.e.

Modelling and Simulation at The University of Liverpool in Support of UK Naval Aviation [PDF]
Along with the restricted landing area and the rolling, pitching and heaving of the ship's deck, the pilot also needs to contend with the turbulent wake produced by the air flow over the ship's superstructure.

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 ...

The Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers: Airwake Modelling and Validation for ASTOVL Flight Simulation [PDF]
This paper outlines progress towards the development of a high-fidelity piloted flight simulation environment for the UK’s Queen Elizabeth Class (QEC) aircraft carriers which are currently under construction. It is intended that flight simulation will be

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. This
