Abstract

Helicopter rotor simulation codes of different organizations are validated against experimental data obtained in the DNW. The comparison addresses rotor blade loading, wake geometry, blade motion and noise radiation. Although specific differences exist the general prediciton of rotor noise is reasonably well.
