Aircraft Carrier Turbulence Study for Predicting Air Flow Dynamics with Increasing Wind-Over-Deck Velocities

Abstract

An intensive review of literature pertinent to aircraft carrier air flow dynamics and an evaluation of experiments were conducted in order to determine the effects of turbulence on landing aircraft. Particular emphasis was given to the effects on carrier aircraft operations which occur as a result of increasing wind-over-deck (WOD) velocities, as well as carrier dynamics. The effects of WOD velocities and carrier dynamics on air boundary layer were also considered. Recommendations for future, more exacting data acquisition, experiments, and theoretical studies are given.
