The accurate prediction of helicopter rotor aerodynamics and aeroacoustics using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques still remains a challenge, as the over-dissipation of numerical schemes results in a higher diffusive rate of rotor wake and vo...

In order to simulate the flight state of the helicopter effectively, it is necessary to trim the helicopter during the forward flight in a wind tunnel test. Previously, due to the lack of an internal-control closed loop in the test rig, the helicopter-wi...
