Aperiodicity in the near field of full-scale rotor blade tip vortices

Karen Ann J Mulleners, Kolja Kindler

Blade tip vortices are the dominant vortical structures of the helicopter flow field. The inherent complexity of the vortex dynamics has led to an increasing interest in full-scale in situ experiments, where the near field, closely behind the blade, is of ...
