An unstructured mesh method has been developed for the simulation of steady and time-accurate flows around helicopter rotors. A dynamic and quasi-unsteady solution-adaptive mesh refinement technique was adopted for the enhancement of the solution accuracy in the local region of interest involving highly vortical flows. Applications were made to the 2-D blade-vortex interaction aerodynamics and the 3-D rotor blades in hover. The interaction between the rotor and the airframe in forward flight was investigated by introducing an overset mesh technique.

Most of studies on aircraft accidents have been conducted mainly for fixed-wing aircraft, while the studies on helicopter accidents have been done less even though the helicopter accidents occurred quite more than those of the fixed-wing. There are lots of differences between helicopter and fixed-wing accidents, in aspect of causes and occurrence of accidents as well as aerodynamics and operation. In Korea, helicopter accidents have occurred 2 or 3 times annually since 2000, while the number of fixed-wing aircraft accidents has been reduced considerably. The goal of this study is to solve the present safety problems in helicopter accidents by reviewing the characteristics of past accidents and comparing differences between two types of aircraft.

Numerical investigations are presented, which show that a back-flow flap can improve the dynamic stall characteristics of oscillating airfoils. The flap was able to weaken the stall vortex and therefore to reduce the peak in the pitching moment. This paper gives a brief insight into the method of function of a back-flow flap. Initial wind tunnel experiments were performed to define the structural requirements for a detailed experimental wind tunnel characterization. A structural integration concept and two different actuation mechanisms of a back-flow flap for a helicopter rotor blade are presented. First a piezoelectric actuation system was investigated, but the analytical model to estimate the performance showed that the displacement generated is too low to enable reliable operation. The seond actuation mechanism is based on magnetic forces to generate an impulse that initiates the opening of the flap. A concept based on two permanent magnets is further detailed and characterized, and this mechanism is shown to generate sufficient impulse for reliable operation in the wind tunnel.

Generally, tone noise is generated at the rotary wing and helicopter. BVI(Blade-Vortex Interaction) noise is one of the helicopter's tone noise. The BVI noise is governed by tip-vortex characteristics such as vortex size, strength and trajectory. To avoid BVI, many methods have been developed and proposed. In this paper, rotating blade with active tab was numerically investigated to reduce BVI noise. For flow and noise simulation, the lifting surface approach and the acoustic analogy were used. Using numerical methods, the noise directivity and maximum noise position were predicted.

In this paper, helicopter aerodynamics is simulated in hovering and forwarding flighst. The governing equation is the unsteady Euler equation. To consider the blade motion and moving effects, an overset grid technique is applied in this simulation. At the boundary, the Riemann invariants condition is used for inflow and outflow. To validate this method, the result is compared with Caradonna-Tung's experimental data.

일반적으로 회전익 공기역학에서 기초적인 해석 도구로 이용되고 있는 운동량 이론 (구동 원반 이론)과 깃 요소법을 부메랑에 적용하여 그 비행 궤적을 예측하여 보았다. 실제로 부메랑을 제작하여 수치 모사의 결과와도 비교하고 물리적인 직관을 얻었다. 실제로 부메랑을 제작하여 수치 모사의 결과와도 비교하고 물리적인 직관을 얻었다. 수치 해석과 실험 모두에서 이륙한 부메랑은 마치 ‘날으는 회전차’와 같이 세차 운동을 수반하면서 헬리콥터 모드로부터 오토자이로 모드로 전이하여 가는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 전체 시스템은 극도로 비선형적이어서 초기 조건에 매우 민감함을 보였다. 인자들을 변화시키면 다양한 비행 궤적들을 얻을 수 있다.

물리 기반의 헬리콥터 시뮬레이션은 항공학, 항공역학 등의 분야에서 많이 연구되어 오고 있으나, 복잡한 수식, 많은 계산량 등으로 인해 사실성과 속도를 동시에 추구하는 컴퓨터 그래픽스 분야에는 적용하기 어려웠다. 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 그래픽스 분야에 적용할 수 있도록 구현하기 쉽고, 실시간 헬리콥터 시뮬레이션을 가능하게 하는 헬리콥터 회전 깃(rotor blades)의 역학적 모델을 제안한다. 헬리콥터는 회전 깃과 공기의 충돌로 발생한 힘을 통해 운동하는데, 이는 유체와 강체가 충돌해서 발생하는 충돌력으로 설명할 수 있다. 이를 근거로 근사화한 회전 깃의 역학적 모델을 도입하면, 기존의 강체 시뮬레이션 방법으로 유체와 강체가 충돌하는 헬리콥터의 움직임을 실시간 시뮬레이션 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 계산이 가능하도록 뉴턴의 양력 계산법을 응용하여 회전 깃의 움직임으로 발생하는 힘을 구한다. 본 논문이 제안하는 방법에 따라 구현된 프로토타입 시스템은 실제와 유사한 헬리콥터 시뮬레이션을 실시간에 처리할 수 있음을 보였다.

Closed-loop active twist control of integral helicopter rotor blades is investigated in this paper for reducing hub vibration induced in forward flight. A four-bladed fully articulated integral twist-actuated rotor system has been designed and tested successfully in wind tunnel in open-loop actuation. The integral twist deformation of the blades is generated using active fiber composite actuators embedded in the composite blade construction. An analytical framework is developed to examine integrally twisted helicopter blades and their aeroelastic behavior during different flight conditions. This aeroelastic model stems from a three-dimensional electroelastic beam formulation with geometrical-exactness, and is coupled with finite-state dynamic inflow aerodynamics. A system identification methodology that assumes a linear periodic system is adopted to estimate the harmonic transfer function of the rotor system. A vibration minimizing controller is designed based on this result, which implements a classical disturbance rejection algorithm with some modifications. Using the established analytical framework, the closed-loop controller is numerically simulated and the hub vibratory load reduction capability is demonstrated.

Helicopters and rotary-wing vehicles encounter a wide variety of complex aerodynamic phenomena and these phenomena present substantial challenges for computational fluid dynamics(CFD) models. This investigation presents the rotor aerodynamic analysis items for the helicopter development and variety aerodynamic analysis methods to provide the better solution to researchers and helicopter developers between aerodynamic problems and numerical aerodynamic analysis methods. The numerical methods to make an analysis of helicopter rotor are as below - CFD Modelling : actuator disk model, BET model, fully rotor model,... - Grid : sliding mesh, chimera mesh / structure mesh, unstructure mesh,... - etc. : panel method periodic boundary, quasi-steady simulation, incompressible,... The choice of CFD methodology and the numerical resolution for the overall problem have been driven mostly by available computer speed and memory at any point in time. The combination of the knowledge of aerodynamic analysis items, available computing power and choice of CFD methods now allows the solution of a number of important rotorcraft aerodynamics design problems.
