A Comparative Assessment of the NATO-GD and SFS2 Ship Airwakes and their Influence upon Helicopter Aerodynamic Loading
Proceedings of the Vertical Flight Society 78th Annual Forum(2022)
摘要
The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the airwakes of two generic ship models, the NATO-GD and the SFS2, and their impact upon helicopter aerodynamic loading in operations over a ship's deck. Airwakes were computed using Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation, a time accurate CFD approach, for each ship model in a headwind and a Green 30 wind. The CFD airwakes were then integrated with a helicopter flight dynamics model, representative of an SH-60B Seahawk. The helicopter model was held stationary at a number of points along a lateral traverse profile over the flight deck of each ship, and the unsteady aerodynamic loads on the fixed-position helicopter were recorded and compared for the two ships. It was seen that the NATO-GD airwake created higher levels of turbulence and greater unsteady loads on the helicopter model than did the SFS2 airwake, implying greater workload for a pilot.
