Abstract

This paper presents recent developments and results in the aerodynamic and aeroelastic simulation of helicopter main rotors. Our current work focusses on two aspects which are of high relevance for the further improvement of helicopter rotors: The aeroelastic simulation of active rotor concepts and the correct reproduction and prediction of Blade Vortex Interaction.
