Abstract:SUMMARYIn this paper, a block incomplete lower-upper (BILU) decomposition method is incorporated with a multiblock three-dimensional Euler/Navier-Stokes solver for simulation of hovering rotor tip vortices and rotor wake convection. Results of both Euler and Navier-Stokes simulations are obtained and compared with experimental observations. The comparisons include surface pressure distributions and tip vortex trajectories. The comparisons suggest that resolution of the boundary layer is important for the accur… Show more
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.
