The results of a Blade-Vortex Interaction (BVI) experiment are presented. The experiments were the second series to be carried out at Glasgow University (see Kokkalis and Galbraith 1986, 1987), and reflect improvement to the facility. These improvements have resulted in sufficient resolution to observe clear evidence of vortex passage and propagative disturbances caused by the BVI. Additionally the quality of the pressure data permitted a meaningful assessment of force and moment coefficients, and a clear correspondence between their detailed time histories was observed. The data obtained are also compared with the results of previous studies, and qualitative and quantitative similarities are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
