A Surrogate Based Framework for Helicopter/Ship Dynamic Interface

Abstract

Develop a surrogate-based framework for Helicopter-ship dynamic interface with the goal of enabling real-time simulations. The framework will combine reduced order models (or surrogates, with uncertainty quantification) for (a) a coupled rotor/fuselage/landing gear model of a helicopter, (b) ship airwake, and (c) moving ship deck. The proposal describes the development of a surrogate-based framework for Helicopter-ship dynamic interface, with the goal of enabling real-time simulations. The framework consists of a combination of reduced order models (or surrogates, with uncertainty quantification) for: (a) a coupled rotor/fuselage/landing gear model of a helicopter, (b) ship airwake, and (c) moving ship deck. The principal benefit of the framework is its ability to accurately reproduce high fidelity computer generated results, obtained by expensive simulations, at a fraction of the computational cost. The proposal describes the development of, “A Surrogate Based Framework for Helicopter Ship Dynamic Interface”. The framework consists of a combination of reduced order components (or surrogates) representing: (a) the coupled rotor/fuselage/landing gear model of a helicopter, (b) ship airwake, (c) moving ship deck, and (d) an approach for assessing uncertainty of the framework. The principal benefit of the surrogate based framework stems from its ability to reproduce accurately high fidelity computer generated results, obtained by expensive simulations, at a fraction of the computational costs. Thus the framework will enable real time simulation of the helicopter ship dynamic interface.
