Rotor Aerodynamics

Rotor Aerodynamics is a subfield of aerodynamic science that specifically studies the airflow interactions, force generation, and performance characteristics of rotating lifting blades, distinguished from fixed-wing and non-rotating systems by the presence of radial velocity gradients, blade-vortex interactions, and time-varying angles of attack inherent to rotary motion.
