NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF MODEL HELICOPTER ROTOR IN HOVER
The article presents details of Drinks a URANS simulation of the flow field near a hovering model of the Caradonna and Tung (1981) helicopter rotor [1].The CFD code SPARC [2] proves to be capable of capturing the aerodynamics of a two -bladed rotor in high-speed transonic hover conditions.A comparison of the simulation results with the experimental
