Abstract
In order to reduce the development cost of seaplane and shorten the research cycle, a numerical method to simulate seaplane take-off process is proposed. Taking the model of a seaplane as an example, carrying out the numerical simulation of seaplane taxing on surface of calm water at different speeds, and compare the calculation values with the experimental results. The comparison shows that the taxing performance obtained by simulation is well match for the experimental flow behaviour, and the error between experimental data and numerical calculation values is very small, which indicates that it is feasible to use this CFD method chose in the paper to simulate a seaplane taxing and taking off from the clam water.
