Abstract

In this paper we present a weak fluid-structure coupling method for the aeroelastic simulation of isolated helicopter main rotors. The CFD Code FLOWer (by DLR) is coupled to the flight mechanics code HOST (by Eurocopter). HOST is used to compute the blade dynamics and the rotor trim, whereas the aerodynamic loads are determined by FLOWer. The method has been applied to two different rotors: the advanced EC145 rotor in fast forward flight and the well known Bo105 rotor in slow descent flight.
