Performance and Wake Analysis of Rotors in Axial Flight Using Computational Fluid Dynamics

Flow field around rotors in axial flight is known to be complex especially in steep descent where the rotor is operating inside its own wake. It is often reported that, in this flight condition, the rotor is susceptible to severe wake interactions causing unsteady blade load, severe vibration, loss...
