Helicopter Rotor Simulations

Simulations of Helicopter Rotors using free-wake code

Completed

Project Duration

Project Description

During my job as a student research assistant at the DLR Institute of Flight Systems, I performed simulations of helicopter rotors using DLR's internal free-wake code. The analyses were automated using python scripts and typically ran over the course of multiple days. The results of multiple runs were gathered and evaluated.

My Contribution

• Automated execution of simulations using python scripts.
• Performed helicopter rotor simulations using DLR's internal free-wake code.
• Evaluated results and analyzed important parameters such as rotor thrust and power coefficients.
