Affected by the aerodynamic force of the sail device, the ship equipped with the sail-assisted propulsion device will produce an airflow field different from the original ship at the deck surface, especially the disturbance of the air in the outflow direction. The flow field formed by the disturbance will have a negative impact on the take-off and landing and / or hovering operation of the helicopter, directly threatening the safety of the operation. This impact should be fully evaluated and considered.

[0081] like Figure 3 As shown, the coordinate origin 0 is taken as the intersection of the tail vertical line, the mid-longitudinal section and the baseline.
[0082] X-axis: longitudinal axis, with the positive direction pointing from the stern to the bow.
[0083] Y axis: transverse axis, the positive direction is from the centerline of the ship to the port side.
[0084] Z axis: vertical axis, the positive direction is perpendicular to the XY plane and upward.
[0085] The heading of the sail-assisted ship is consistent with the X-axis direction of the coordinate system Coor.0.
[0086] The relative wind direction angle α of the sail-assisted ship is defined as the angle between the wind direction and the bow direction. The clockwise rotation is positive, α∈[0°,360°]. When the bow is facing the wind, α=0°.
[0087] S3: Analysis of airflow field of sail-assisted ships
[0088] S3.1: Establish a three-dimensional numerical analysis model of a sailing ship. To ensure the reliability and accuracy of the calculation results, the preferred method for selecting the numerical analysis model is as follows:
[0089] Control equation: Incompressible fluid continuity equation and RANS equation are used.
[0090] Turbulence model: RNGk-ε is used to simulate the aerodynamic force of sail-assisted ships to obtain higher calculation accuracy.
[0091] Discrete format and solution method: The differential equations are discretized using the finite volume method, the pressure and velocity coupling is solved using the SIMPLE (Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations) method, and the discretized algebraic equations are solved using Gauss-Seidel iteration.
[0092] S3.2: Determine the analysis conditions
[0093] According to the three-dimensional numerical analysis model of sailing ship, the airflow field above the helicopter deck under the relative wind speed AWS and relative wind direction angle AWA in two ship loading states, fully loaded and ballasted, is calculated respectively.
[0094] The calculation range of relative wind direction angle AWA is [0°~360°), with an interval of 15°, and a total of 24 wind direction angles. P Represents the pth relative wind direction angle (p=1, 2,…, 24).
[0095] The calculation range of relative wind speed AWS is [5m / s~50m / s], the wind speed interval is 0.5m / s, and there are 91 wind speeds in total. q Represents the qth relative wind direction angle (q=1, 2,…, 91).
[0096] The relative wind speed AWS is the reference wind speed at a height of 10 m from the sea surface.
[0097] Therefore, each specific calculation condition can be identified by the ship loading state, wind direction angle, and wind speed, that is, (Lm, AWA P ,AWS q ).
[0098] S4: Data processing of airflow field calculation results to obtain the vertical velocity standard deviation database
[0099] S4.1 Calculate the deck airflow field under the full load condition L1, relative wind speed AWS1 (5m / s), and relative wind direction angle AWA1 (0°). After the calculation results are stable, extract the vertical velocity within a certain period of time at 6m above the helicopter deck surface, and calculate the average vertical velocity U according to the following formulaZ (L1, AWA1, AWS1):
[0100]
[0101] Wherein, N is the number of samples of vertical velocity extracted under a specific calculation condition, and in this embodiment, it is taken as 60. ti is the i-th sampling time.
[0102] Based on the calculated average speed, the vertical speed standard deviation S(U Z (L1,AWA1,AWS1)):
[0103]
[0104] By repeating the above process and traversing all the ranges of m, q, and p, a database for judging helicopter operating conditions under all working conditions, namely, a database for the vertical velocity standard deviation, can be obtained.
[0105] S4.2: Clean the vertical velocity standard deviation database to obtain the feasible operating range of the helicopter.
[0106] With the vertical speed standard deviation of no more than 1.75 m / s and the maximum operating environment wind speed of 50 m / s as the restriction conditions during helicopter operation, data screening is performed based on the database established in step 105 to obtain the relative wind speed and relative wind direction angle range that meet the helicopter operation conditions.
[0107] This embodiment provides a guidance range of the feasible operation range of the helicopter under the condition of full ship load, that is, m=1, as shown in Table 1:
[0108] Table 1 Feasible operating range of helicopter under full load condition
[0109]
[0110] In the table, AWS 1,p Indicates the relative wind direction angle AWA under full load state L1 P The maximum relative wind speed allowed for helicopter operations under the above conditions is shown in the table below. Figure 2 shown.
[0111] S5: Based on the helicopter feasible operation range database (Table 1) established in step S4, provide operation suggestions for helicopter operations.
[0112] Since the sail is located behind the helicopter landing platform, for the convenience of operation, it is recommended that the wind field environment requirements during helicopter landing and take-off are: forward wind, relative wind direction angle -60°~60°, relative wind speed not more than 40m / s, and the sail is in a fully retracted state. That is, when the helicopter intends to perform lifting operations, the wind field environment within this range can be given priority to improve the convenience and safety of the helicopter operation process.
[0113] S6: Based on the helicopter feasible operation interval database (Table 1) established in step S4, it is determined that the helicopter operation conditions are met, but the safety of helicopter operation can be further improved by adjusting the ship status. The specific steps are as follows:

[0116] S6.2: Determine optimal helicopter operating conditions AWAgoal, AWSgoal
[0117] Considering the recommended operation suggestions in step S5, further according to Table 1 and Figure 2 , Screening and AWA real =75°、AWS real =25m / s, the data unit close to it is AWA5=60°, AWS1,5=37m / s. After considering a certain margin, the helicopter operation optimization target is determined as AWAgoal=60°, AWSgoal≤30m / s.
[0118] S6.3: Calculate the real-time wind field conditions in the geodetic coordinate system: absolute wind direction angle TWA real , Absolute Wind Speed TWS real
[0119] According to the differential global positioning system DGPS, the real-time speed V of the ship is obtained real =5m / s, heading A real = 0°, combined with the real-time monitoring of the relative wind direction angle AWA real =75°, relative wind speed AWS real =25m / s, after vector calculation, the real-time absolute wind direction angle TWA in the geodetic coordinate system is obtained real , Absolute Wind Speed TWS real , namely TWA real =87°, TWSreal =24.2m / s.
[0120] S6.4: Calculate adjusted ship speed and heading
[0121] like Figure 5 As shown, the absolute wind field condition TWA calculated by step S6.3 real =87°, TWS real =24.2m / s, the optimized helicopter operation wind field determined in step S6.2 AWAgoal = 60°, AWSgoal ≤ 30m / s, after vector calculation, the new speed V that the ship needs to provide can be obtained real-m 、New Direction A real-m =V real-m =5.5m / s, A real-m =15°.
[0122] That is, the ship is in the original sailing state (speed V real =5m / s, heading A real =0°), increase the speed to 5.5m / s, and adjust the heading 15° clockwise to achieve better helicopter operating conditions. At this time, the relative wind field conditions are: relative wind speed AWSreal-m=26.5m / s, relative wind direction angle AWAreal-m=60°.
[0123] S7: For working conditions that do not meet the helicopter operation conditions, ship adjustment suggestions are given to meet the helicopter operation conditions. The specific steps are as follows:
[0124] S7.1: Determine whether helicopter operation conditions are met
[0125] Assuming that the ship must receive the helicopter as soon as possible according to the actual navigation situation, at this time, the real-time monitored relative wind direction angle AWA real =75°, relative wind speed AWS real =27m / s, according to Table 1 in step 106, the helicopter operation condition is not met.
[0126] S7.2: Determine the operating conditions AWAgoal and AWSgoal that must be met when helicopters are operating.
[0127] Considering the recommended operation suggestions in step S5, further according to Table 1 and Figure 2 , Screening and AWA real =75°、AWS real =27m / s, the data unit close to it is AWA5=60°, AWS1,5=37m / s. After considering a certain margin, the helicopter operation optimization target is determined as AWAgoal=60°, AWSgoal≤30m / s.
[0128] S7.3: Calculate the real-time wind field conditions in the geodetic coordinate system: absolute wind direction angle TWA real , Absolute Wind Speed TWS real .
[0129] According to the differential global positioning system DGPS, the real-time speed V of the ship is obtained real =5m / s, heading A real = 0°, combined with the real-time monitoring of the relative wind direction angle AWA real =75°, relative wind speed AWS real =27m / s, after vector calculation, the real-time absolute wind direction angle TWA is obtained real , Absolute Wind Speed TWS real , namely TWA real =86°, TWS real =26.2m / s.
[0130] S7.4: Calculate adjusted ship speed and heading
[0131] like Figure 4 As shown, the absolute wind field condition TWA calculated by step S7.3 real =86°, TWS real =26.2m / s, the optimized helicopter operation wind field determined in step S7.2 AWAgoal = 60°, AWSgoal ≤ 30m / s, and the new speed V that the ship needs to provide can be obtained through vector calculation real-m 、New Direction A real-m =V real-m =6.0m / s, A real-m =14°.
[0132] That is, the ship is in the original sailing state (speed V real =5m / s, heading A real =0°), increase the speed to 6.0m / s and adjust the heading 14° clockwise to achieve better helicopter operating conditions. At this time, the relative wind field conditions are: relative wind speed AWSreal-m=28.6m / s, relative wind direction angle AWAreal-m=60°.
[0133] After the ship adjusts its navigation status according to the above principles, it can meet the conditions for helicopter operations and has a considerable safety margin.
