    Abstract
  • A coupled free-wake/panel method to predict the rotor downwash aerodynamic interaction and helicopter trims is presented. Based on lifting-surface theory, free-wake method was developed to analyze aerodynamics interference of rotor wake. A three dimensional panel model was applied to represent the fuselage, the vortex line mirror method was adopted to account for the induced and obstructed effects of the fuselage on the rotor wake. Based the coupled method, the rotor wake geometry and rotor downwash velocity on fuselage, horizontal stabilator and tail rotor of UH-60A helicopter were investigated including comparisons with the wind tunnel measured data. Combined with the helicopter flight dynamic model, the coupled method was embedded in the trim procedure and applied to trim. Comparisons among predictions, vortex particle model results and flight test results were for the control stick positions and attitude angles, coincidence of the results validated accuracy of the present methodology.
