This study is part of a longer-term project to map the airwakes of model ships for scaling to full size and use in simulators to provide an alternative to interface testing. A detailed study has been made of the airflow near the flight deck of the DD-963 in a stationary mode using helium bubble, smoke, photographic and video equipment. The results show that the primary variable in the airwake is the yaw angle of the ship, pitch and roll having a lesser influence. Some highly complex flow patterns have been observed on the flight deck. For example, at zero yaw the airflow along the centre line of the ship flows over the hangar and splits: the higher level of the flow continues aft and the lower level proceeds downwards towards the deck and turns back towards the hangar; this flow further splits, heading towards port and starboard, curls upward almost to the hangar "roof" level and finally flows downwind in two streams along paths close to both sides of the ship. This pattern becomes displaced to one side of the ship or other, depending on the yaw angle. The general level of turbulence on the flight deck is higher when the relative wind is on the starboard side.
