The paper presents the basics of the methodology for modeling the spatter formation of landing gear on an amphibious aircraft hovercraft based on the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for a two-phase incompressible flow with a free interface (VoF approach) and the disperse medium motion equations (DPM approach). The results of numerical simulation of the water jet collapse in the transverse air flow in comparison with the experimental results are given, as well as recommendations and results of application of numerical simulation in forecasting the air cushion splash formation. The results of the simulation are in good correspondence with the results of the experiments published earlier, which demonstrates the prospects of applying the technique in the development and design of new landing gear layout solutions on an amphibious air cushion aircraft.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
