Course programme
On successful completion of this course the participant will be able to demonstrate a critical awareness of the modelling challenges faced in the numerical analysis of rotating wings. One can gain experience of the systematic approach of the Navier-Stokes equations in an appropriate rotating/moving frame of reference to critically evaluate different modelling approaches that can be taken into account for vortex dominated flows.
Core content
- Introduction to rotary wing aerodynamics
- Formulation of the governing equations in a rotating inertial frame of reference
- Numerical approaches to vortex capturing
- Blade dynamics as an example of fluid-structure interaction (FSI)
- Formulation of the governing equations for moving/deforming grids
- Numerical modelling of dynamic stall
