Effects of Ship Motions and Atmospheric Boundary Layer on Ship Aerodynamics
Abstract
Study the influence of ship motions and atmospheric turbulence on ship aerodynamics, both numerically and experimentally. Conduct simulations in turbulent wind flows to understand the role of the nonlinear coupling between the airwake, ship motion, and atmospheric turbulence. Propose an airwake model to inform launch-and-recovery modeling, pilot training, and ship design, and generate a validation data set of ship airwakes with prescribed ship motions. The influence of ship motions and atmospheric turbulence on ship aerodynamics will be studied numerically and experimentally. Simulations will be conducted in turbulent wind flows to understand the role of the nonlinear coupling between the airwake, ship motion, and atmospheric turbulence. An airwake model will be proposed to inform launch-and-recovery modeling, pilot training, and ship design, and a validation data set of ship airwakes with prescribed ship motions will be generated.
