The current airworthiness regulation CS 23.527 describes the ditching of a seaplane. The regulation defines the pressure distribution along the structure profiles in line with the theoretical study carried out by T. Von Karman [1] and Wagner [2]. Therefore, the current rules describe the phenomenon without investigating the dynamic aspects of this phenomenon and the particular effects on the pressure/time relationship. This research aims to investigate the behavior of the fluid-structure interaction during the specific impact phase. The objective is to study a methodology that can describe this phenomenon and thus allow the correct sizing of the seaplane hull during the impact on water. A step-by-step methodology based on numerical calculations using LS-DYNA and experimental ditching tests is proposed.

Abstract

The current airworthiness regulation CS 23.527 describes the ditching of a seaplane. The regulation defines the pressure distribution along the structure profiles in line with the theoretical study carried out by T. Von Karman [1] and Wagner [2]. Therefore, the current rules describe the phenomenon without investigating the dynamic aspects of this phenomenon and the particular effects on the pressure/time relationship. This research aims to investigate the behavior of the fluid-structure interaction during the specific impact phase. The objective is to study a methodology that can describe this phenomenon and thus allow the correct sizing of the seaplane hull during the impact on water. A step-by-step methodology based on numerical calculations using LS-DYNA and experimental ditching tests is proposed.
