Abstract A comprehensive review of the computational and experimental studies for ship-helo coupled airwakes is presented. The review starts with a brief introduction on the essential flow physics of ship and helicopter airwakes. The discussion is directed towards the physics of coupled behaviour of ship-helo airwakes in detail. The emphasis is on different experimental techniques and computational approaches used in the measurements/predictions of ship airwakes. Further, the problems in the ship airwake behaviour and its impact on helicopter manoeuvring over the ship helodeck are identified. This review article covers the research done on the ship-helo airwakes over the last six decades and attempts to list out the important findings and also establish the gaps in knowledge. The paper further gives future directions for developing a deeper understanding of different aspects of ship-helo coupled airwake interactions.
