Aerodynamic Analysis of Flow Characteristics Over Rotors Using Cfd Methods

Abstract

Near future goals of the national aerospace industry for producing rotorcraft systems is boosting academic and industrial interest. In order to validate and accelerate design processes, computational methods are largely used. In this study, an open-source CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) code, SU2 is used for analyses of 2D and 3D cases which includes different airfoils, wings and a rotor geometry. The results were compared with the experimental results and shown on graphics. © 2016 9th International Conference on Computational Fluid Dynamics, ICCFD 2016 - Proceedings. All rights reserved.
