Description
This Note presents an attempt to develop a rotor wake model for forward flight which requires only modest computing time and, therefore, is suitable for flight simulation studies. Free and rigid wake models are discussed, together with various simplifying assumptions, in order to reduce the computation time to acceptable levels for simulation studies. Using a tip vortex wake model and the Biot-Savart relation, induced velocities are calculated in the rotor plane. It is then assumed that the tip vortex wake takes the form of a skewed helix. Such a simple prescribed model requires little computing time and the accuracy of its results when compared with more elaborate free wake models shows considerable promise. (Author).
