Numerical Analysis of Helicopter Characteristics during Ditching on Calm Water

Abstract

AbstractThis study investigates helicopter ditching characteristics using finite-volume method (FVM) simulations with the volume of fluid (VOF) multiphase model. This study examines the key factors that affect the ditching process such as initial vertical ...Practical ApplicationsUnderstanding the behavior of helicopters during emergency water landings is critical for improving flight safety and designing effective flotation systems. This study uses advanced computer simulations to analyze how a helicopter ...
