SIMULATION OF DISCRETE GUST ACCORDING TO AIRSHIP SAFETY STANDARDS
Abstract
One of the factors that greatly affects the flight safety of airships is weather conditions and in particular, discrete gust with a speed equivalent to the speed of the airship. This article presented a method of numerical simulation of discrete gust according to flight safety standards. The discrete gust is considered from the bottom up with velocity in two forms: rectangular velocity distribution and variable velocity as a function of cosin. Research shows that in order for the velocity distribution to be most similar to the flight safety standards, it is recommended to choose a calculated area of size 25L × 10L × 2.5L. This simulation method can be used to study other discrete gust according to flight safety standards in the actual operation of airships.
