Helicopter Rotor Unsteady Aerodynamics
Unsteady helicopter rotor aerodynamics are complicated. This paper reviews some of the fundamentals and newer developments of unsteady helicopter aerodynamics. Rotor flow is beautiful and complex. Visualizing rotor flow allows for an appreciation of the following theories and solution attempts as well as nature’s complexities. The flow through a helicopter rotor with forward motion is shown in ...
متن کاملCoupled CFD/CSD Analysis of a Hovering Rotor Using High Fidelity Unsteady Aerodynamics and a Geometrically Exact Rotor Blade Analysis
Abstract: This paper presents a combination of a computational structural dynamics (CSD) and high fidelity unsteady computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. Regarding a helicopter in hover, aerodynamic loads are computed from the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes solver in overlapped grids, and blade motions are obtained from the geometrically exact rotor beam analysis. To couple those analys...
متن کاملUltrasonic Guided Wave Nondestructive Testing for Helicopter Rotor Blade
Ultrasonic guided waves are used to detect the delamination between skin and honeycomb of a composite helicopter rotor blade. Theoretical work is carried out for guided waves in the trailing edge of a rotor blade, which is a multilayer composite skin/NOMEX half space structure. The dispersion relation is obtained with the global matrix method. Theoretically driven experiments are conducted on a...
متن کاملMorphing Helicopter Rotor Blade with Curvilinear Fiber Composites
A variable camber morphing rotor blade with curvilinear fiber composite skin is studied in this paper. The benefits of curvilinear fiber (CVF) composites for morphing skin over the linear fiber are investigated, initially. The skin of a morphing blade is modeled as a plate supported between the D-spar and trailing edge of typical rotor blade dimensions. The CVF composite shows about 60 % increa...
متن کاملHelicopter Rotor Blade Monitoring using Autonomous Wireless Sensor Network
The advancement on Wireless Sensor Networks for vibration monitoring presents important possibilities for helicopter rotor health and usage monitoring. While main rotor blades account for the main source of lift for helicopters, rotor induced vibration establishes an important source for understanding the rotor performance and blade condition. A discussion on the dual character of blades as rot...
