Abstract:
Implicit large eddy simulations (ILES) of two different Royal Navy ships have
been conducted as part of the UK Ship/Air Interface Frame-work project using a
recently developed very high order accuracy numerical method. Time-accurate CFD
data for fourteen flow angles was produced to incorporate into flight simulators
for definition of safe helicopter operating limits (SHOLs). This paper discusses
the flow phenomenology for the different wind directions and where possible
reports on the validation of the ILES results for mean and fluctuating velocity
components and spectra against experimental data.
