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 this paper, the accuracy of an in-house Actuator Line (AL) model is tested on aeroelastic simulations of a Wind Turbine (WT) rotor and a helicopter Main Rotor (MR) under uniform free-stream flow. For the scope of aeroelastic analyses, the AL model is ...

Resonant response of turbomachinery blades can lead to high cycle fatigue (HCF) if the vibration amplitudes are significant. Therefore, the dangerousness assessment of the resonance crossing is important. It requires accurate predictions of the aerodynam...

Accurate prediction of the self-propulsion performance is one of the most important factors for the energy-efficient design of a ship. In general, the hydrodynamic performance of a full-scale ship could be achieved by model-scale simulation or towing tan...

For staggered boxwings the predictions of induced drag that rely on common potential-flow methods can be of limited accuracy. For example, linear, freestream-fixed wake models cannot resolve effects related to wake deflection and roll-up, which can have ...
