Aircraft carrier wake simulation reveals risks to landing operations during waves.
The researchers studied the airflow behind an aircraft carrier to improve ship design and aircraft operations. They used computer simulations to analyze how wind and waves affect the flow around the carrier. By combining different models, they found that certain areas on the carrier's deck caused turbulence and flow separation. When the ship swayed, the flow separation became more pronounced and followed a clear pattern. This information can help optimize aircraft take-off and landing on carriers.
