Abstract
CFD simulation of the hovering condition of a single-rotor helicopter was carried out by three methods: moving reference frame (MRF), sliding mesh and overset mesh, respectively. The parameters such as velocity field, pressure field and pressure coefficient of the helicopter rotor and its surrounding flow field are obtained, and the simulation results are compared with the experimental data of wind tunnel test. The three methods are compared from the differences between the model and the grid, the accuracy of the calculation results, and the calculation convergence time. The characteristics, application and other meaningful results of each method are obtained.
