Abstract
Performance analysis was performed for an autorotating rotor. For a given airspeed, shaft angle, and collective pitch, the steady state of autorotation was judged by using the transient simulation method(TSM), then the thrust, lift, and drag coefficient for that state were computed. Average thrust was calculated from the instantaneous thrusts, in which the TSM was used in blade thrust integration. The analysis method was applied to the model rotor that had been tested by wind tunnel. Some comparison between analysis and test was provided. Two types of two-dimensional airfoil aerodynamic data were utilized in analysis, and they were made by Navier-Stokes Solver in terms of Reynolds and Reynolds-Mach number. The quantitative difference of results using two data set was examined and compared.
