CFD ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF PARABOLIC TAPER DISTRIBUTION OF AN UNTWISTED HELICOPTER ROTOR BLADE

CFD ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF PARABOLIC TAPER DISTRIBUTION OF AN UNTWISTED HELICOPTER ROTOR BLADE

The effect of parabolic taper distribution along the span of a helicopter rotor blade is analyzed in terms of the rotor thrust, torque and Figure of Merit. Various maximum chord length values are investigated. The Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes computations are done using the FINE/Turbo flow solver...
