Abstract
A high-order upwind scheme with high efficiency has been developed to compute the inviscid flow of a helicopter rotor in hover. For rotary-wing wake capturing, an improved fifth-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) scheme is adopted to interpolate higher order left and right states across a cell interface with Roe Riemann solver updating inviscid flux. To improve the efficiency and convergence to steady state, three-level V-cycle multigrid relaxation scheme is used. The performance of the schemes is investigated in a transonic inviscid flow around hovering rotor. The results reveal that WENO has the great capabilities to capture shock with high resolution and has a lower numerical dissipation than MUSCL for capturing wake vorticity. Moreover, multigrid scheme can accelerate convergence to a great extent.
