Title: Development and validation of a combined rotor fuselage induced flow field computational method
Abstract: A potential-flow panel method was modified to calculate the effects of a rotor wake on the time-averaged surface pressure and velocity distributions on a helicopter fuselage. The rotor-induced velocities are calculated by using a vortex-tube wake model. The calculated pressure distributions are found to compare well with experimental data obtained from tests of a wind-tunnel model.
