Modeling rotorcraft flight is complicated by the very nature of the vehicle’s operating characteristics – vertical takeoff and landing, hovering, and handling low airspeed conditions. Highly unsteady and complex, rotorcraft CFD simulation must accurately capture blade rotation and flexion, vortex interaction, and more. With relatively long time steps – every one to five degrees, for example – multiple rotations have to be captured to understand performance. The resulting data volume is daunting.
