Abstract:

This project is performed under the Office of Naval Research program on Basic and Applied Research in Sea-Based Aviation ONR BAA12-SN-0028. This project addresses the Sea Based Aviation SBA virtual dynamic interface VDI research topic area Fast, high-fidelity physics-based simulation of coupled aerodynamics of moving ship and maneuvering rotorcraft. The work is a collaborative effort between Penn State, NAVAIR, and Combustion Research and Flow Technology CRAFT Tech. This document presents progress at Penn State University.
