This review paper presents an overview of Vortex Methods for flow simulation and their
different sub-approaches, from their creation to the present. Particle methods distinguish …

Electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft with multiple lifting rotors or prop-rotors
have received significant attention in recent years due to their great potential for next …

The understanding of interaction effects between marine energy converters represents the
next step in the research process that should eventually lead to the deployment of such …

The unsteady aerodynamics of a helicopter rotor has been a central issue in the field of
rotorcraft aerodynamics. This is because the rotor generates a complex time-dependent …

For aircraft that employ distributed propeller propulsion systems, the distributed propeller
slipstream increases the analysis complexity. The objective of this paper is to rapidly …

A high-resolution, two-dimensional (2-D), vortex particle method is implemented, and
simulations of flows around various bluff bodies are presented, with a detailed analysis of …

This paper presents a Lagrangian vortex method combined with iterative Brinkman
penalization for the simulation of incompressible flow past a complex geometry. In the …

For predicting three-dimensional incompressible potential flows around a body
accompanied by a wake vortex, surface singularity methods (ie, panel methods) have been …

This paper presents the implementation and validation of a remeshed Vortex Particle-Mesh
(VPM) method capable of simulating complex compressible and viscous flows. It is …

The capacity of the Vortex Particle Method (VPM) to model noise resulting from rotor
interactions was investigated. Two types of interactions were analyzed. Firstly, a rotor-rotor …
