Velocity Measurements in A Ship Airwake With Crosswind

Abstract

In situ air velocity measurements in the near wake of a Navy training ship are presented for an inflow of 15 to starboard. This data is required for the validation of ship airwake simulations, which are used to determine the launch and recovery envelopes for shipborne rotorcraft and for use in piloted flight simulations. The measurements are taken primarily above an aft flight deck, which sits immediately behind a step-like hangar structure. A description of the mean flow structure is included, as well as the Reynolds stresses at numerous points along the ship centerline. Comparisons are made between the present 15 case and the case of a direct headwind, presented previously. Compared to the 0 inflow condition, the flow symmetry is clearly broken with a cross-wind. The port and starboard sides of the deck have very different mean flow profiles and turbulent stress components. An updraft is visible over much of the starboard side of the flight deck, which is not found on the port side, or on either side under a headwind. Along the centerline, the streamwise normal component of the turbulent stresses are much larger in the cross-wind case than in the headwind case, while the shear components have similar magnitudes. This suggests that the wake turbulence is similar, but that in the cross-wind case the flight deck is more heavily burdened by inflow fluctuations from the atmosphere.
