A comprehensive review of the computational and experimental studies for ship-helo
coupled airwakes is presented. The review starts with a brief introduction on the essential …

Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations of ship airwakes have been performed using
Detached-Eddy Simulation (DES) on unstructured grids. A generic simple frigate shape …

Modeling and simulation of the ship–helicopter dynamic interface is still a challenging
technical problem despite the great development in the decades of research. Herein, a …

AERIAL refueling has been used to extend the range of military aircraft for over 50 years.
There is now interest in the research community [1] to develop efficient and robust control …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of ship airwakes are discussed in this
article. CFD is used to simulate the airwakes of landing helicopter assault (LHA) and landing …

The issue of single helicopter shipboard landing has been widely studied. This paper
focuses on the helicopters/ship dynamic interaction for simultaneous landing of two …

This article describes a recent study in helicopter/ship dynamic interface simulation to
examine pilot workload in the presence of a ship's airwake. The flight dynamics model …

This paper provides an update on a multi-year research project that involves the systematic
investigation of ship air wakes using an instrumented research vessel. The object is to …

Flight test data from a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter hovering in the atmospheric turbulence
downwind of a large cube-shaped hanger on a wind day were collected. An inverse …

The coupled rotor/ship flowfield is investigated using the Navier–Stokes solver when the
helicopter rotor hovers in the ship's airwake. The solid rotor model (SRM) and virtual rotor …
