Abstract:
The large eddy simulation （LES） method combined with the global dynamic grid strategy is used to numerically study the influence of pitch angles on cavitation and ventilation phenomena in the rear of fuselage during ditching. The volume of fluid （VOF） method is used to capture the interface. By analyzing the normal force， moment， pressure distribution and nephograms， we find that the pitch angle has a great influence on the total load， the cavitation occurrence time and its transition to ventilation， thus affects the longitudinal load distribution and the controlling of aircraft dynamics.
