A non-stationary (time-varying) ship airwake model developed using computational fluid dynamics techniques was implemented in a blade-element model of a helicopter in order to represent the complex interactions between the rotorcraft and the turbulent field. The integrated simulation was used to simulate shipboard landings in varying wind and sea conditions at the Vertical Motion Simulator facility at NASA-Ames Research Center.
