Effects of Trailing Edge Flaps on The Aerodynamics and Performance Characteristics of Rotor Blades
In the present study, helicopter rotor blades with trailing edge flaps are studied to analyze their aerodynamic and performance characteristics for hover conditions. The effect of different characteristics of trailing edge flaps, i.e.

Investigation of rotor blade tip-vortex aerodynamics [PDF]
Several aspects of the aerodynamics of rotor blade tip vortices are examined. Two particular categories are dealt with; (1) dynamic loads on a blade passing close to or intersecting a trailing vortex, and (2) the response of the trailing vortex core to ...

Control of rotorcraft retreating blade stall using air-jet vortex generators [PDF]
A series of low-speed wind tunnel tests were carried out on an oscillating airfoil fitted with two rows of air-jet vortex generators (AJVGs). The airfoil used had an RAE 9645 section and the two spanwise arrays of AJVGs were located at x/c=0.12 and 0.62.

Cold-air study of the effect on turbine stator blade aerodynamic performance of coolant ejection from various trailing-edge slot geometries. 1: Experimental results [PDF]
Trailing-edge slot configurations were investigated in a two-dimensional cascade of turbine stator blades. The trailing-edge slots were incorporated into blades with round trailing edges.

Helicopter rotor trailing edge noise [PDF]
A two dimensional section of a helicopter main rotor blade was tested in an acoustic wind tunnel at close to full-scale Reynolds numbers to obtain boundary layer data and acoustic data for use in developing an acoustic scaling law and testing a first ...

A superelement-based method for computing unsteady three-dimensional potential flows in hydraulic turbomachines [PDF]
A numerical method is presented for the computation of unsteady, three-dimensional potential flows in hydraulic pumps and turbines. The superelement method has been extended in order to eliminate slave degrees of freedom not only from the governing ...

Finite element calculations and experimental verification of the unsteady potential flow in a centrifugal volute pump [PDF]
In this paper we present a finite-element-based methode for the calculation of the unsteady potential flow in rotor/stator configurations. A numerical algorithm was developed to calculate the two-dimensional flow through a centrifugal volute pump, taking

Numerical solution for the temperature distribution in a cooled guide vane blade of a radial gas turbine [PDF]
A two dimensional finite difference numerical technique is presented to determine the temperature distribution of an internal cooled blade of radial turbine guide vanes. A simple convection cooling is assumed inside the guide vane blade. Such cooling has
