This review paper presents an overview of Vortex Methods for flow simulation and their
different sub-approaches, from their creation to the present. Particle methods distinguish …

We perform the large-eddy simulation of the flow past a helicopter rotor to support the
investigation of rotorcraft wake characteristics and decay mechanisms. A hybrid Lagrangian …

From small drones to large Urban Air Mobility vehicles, the market of vertical take-off and
landing (VTOL) aircraft is currently booming. Modern VTOL designs feature a variety of …

A novel formulation of the vortex particle method (VPM) is developed for large-eddy
simulation (LES) in a meshless scheme that is numerically stable. A new set of VPM …

The vortex particle method (VPM) is a mesh-free approach to computational fluid dynamics
(CFD) solving the Navier-Stokes equations in their velocity-vorticity form. The VPM uses a …

Two flow models with different fidelity of the DTU vortex solver MIRAS have been used to
simulate the wake generated by a model wind turbine with various levels of asymmetry …

Frequency-domain unsteady lifting-line theory (ULLT) provides a means by which the
aerodynamics of oscillating wings may be studied at low computational cost without …

The actuator line method (ALM) is used extensively in wind turbine and rotor simulations.
However, its original uncorrected formulation overestimates the forces near the tip of the …

Particle methods are a widely used class of algorithms for computer simulation of complex
phenomena in various fields, such as fluid dynamics, plasma physics, molecular chemistry …

In a fuel-efficient extended formation flight of commercial airplanes, the aerodynamic
benefits depend on one's ability to surf wake vortices. This paper presents a wake vortex …
