CFD ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF PARABOLIC TAPER DISTRIBUTION OF AN UNTWISTED HELICOPTER ROTOR BLADE

The effect of parabolic taper distribution along the span of a helicopter rotor blade is analyzed in terms of the rotor thrust, torque and Figure of Merit. Various maximum chord length values are investigated. The Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes computations are done using the FINE/Turbo flow solver...
