Summary
A method has been developed how to integrate numerical fluxes of velocity fields of rigid body motion exactly in the context of an edge based data structure to ensure free stream consistency for rotating flows. For the unstructured DLR TAU code this extends the field of applications to rotor and helicopter aerodynamics. This is demonstrated with a calculation of the 4-bladed rotor HELI7A in hover and a comparison with results from the structured DLR FLOWER code and experimental data.
