A 2D unsteady numerical simulation with dynamic and sliding meshing techniques was
conducted to solve the flow around a threeblade Vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). The …

To address the complex multidisciplinary nature of rotorcraft analysis, high-fidelity
computational fluid and structural dynamics models have been developed and coupled for …

An electrically controlled rotor (ECR), also known as a swashplateless rotor, eliminates the
swashplate system to implement the primary control via the trailing-edge flaps (TEFs), which …

A coupled computational fluid dynamics and computational structural dynamics
methodology is developed to analyze the effects of a leading-edge slat on rotor …

A modular procedure is presented to simulate moving control surfaces within an overset grid
environment using the Navier–Stokes equations. Gaps are modeled by locally shearing the …

Enhancing rotorcraft performance over a wide range of flight conditions is a problem that
designers are constantly looking to address. Existing helicopter blades represent a …

This study obtains a better understanding of the aerodynamics of integrated trailing edge
