Air-Wake Flow Dynamics on a Simplified Frigate Shape: An Experimental Study by Large-Scale Tomographic PTV

: The Air-Wake produced by a ship superstructure is a complex, highly turbulent and unsteady three-dimensional flow, which contains large flow features that interact with the helicopter rotor during critical take-off and landing procedures. An international research effort (TTCP, AER-TP2) which involves experimental and numerical studies on...
