Abstract

When the destroyer is sailing on the sea, the turbulent ship airwake will be formed above the deck, due to the flow separation after the airflow passes through the edge of the hangar, and the most obvious vortex structure is the recirculation area, which will seriously affect the safety of take-off and landing of the ship-borne helicopter on the deck. Based on the means of flow control in fluid dynamics, this paper improves the quality of the flow field above the deck of the destroyer by adopting different blowing ways (3 blowing angles and 5 blowing speeds). The results show that for different blowing directions, the length of recirculation zone tends to decrease with the increase of blowing speed. The optimal blowing way is the blowing speed of 10m/s in the blowing direction of -45°, and the length of recirculation zone is reduced by 59.4%. This will obviously improve the landing safety of ship-borne helicopters and reduce the pilot's control load.
