The study of rotor–fuselage interactional aerodynamics is central to the design and
performance analysis of helicopters. However, regardless of its significance, rotor–fuselage …

This paper presents numerical analyses of aerodynamics and aeroacoustics of ducted/un-
ducted propellers based on high-fidelity CFD methods, and adjoint-based aerodynamic …

This paper presents a multi-fidelity propeller design and analysis process, and demonstrates
it for the preliminary design of a heavy-lift eVTOL vehicle proposed by GKN aerospace …

This work presents the high-fidelity aerodynamic and acoustic modelling processes
supporting the preliminary design of a large eVTOL vehicle at the University of Glasgow in …

Abstract Electric Vertical Take-off Landing (eVTOL) vehicles can transform aviation, but the
unconventional aircraft development currently requires an extensive knowledge base. This …

Actuator Disks (AD) can provide characterizations of rotor wakes while reducing
computational expense associated with modeling the fully resolved blades. This work …

This paper presents the activities performed in the GARTEUR Action Group HC/AG-26 to
study the acoustic and aerodynamic characteristics of small rotor configurations, including …

Operating helicopters in a naval environment is challenging because it imposes a pilot
workload significantly higher than that during land-based operations. The aerodynamic …

A stochastic numerical analysis of a multirotor was performed considering the rotational
speed fluctuation to investigate the acoustic characteristics. To validate the analysis, the …

The current chapter provides an overview of the offshore wind industry, followed by an
introduction to the MARE-WINT project. We discuss the important role that MARE-WINT has …
