The methodology of simulation of a rotorcraft flight has been developed and applied to simulate several stages of flight of light helicopter. The methodology is based on coupling of several computational models of Computational Fluid Dynamics, Flight Dynamic. The essence of the methodology consists in calculation of aerodynamic forces acting on the flying rotorcraft by solving during the simulation the Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) equations. In this approach, the rotorcraft is flying inside the computational 3D mesh modelling the space filled with the air. The flight simulation procedure is completely embedded in the URANS solver ANSYS FLUENT. Flow effects caused by rotating blades of main or tail rotor are modelled by application of the developed Virtual Blade Model (VBM). In this approach, real rotors are replaced by volume discs influencing the flow field similarly as rotating blades. Time-averaged aerodynamic effects of rotating blades are modelled using momentum source terms placed inside the volume-disc zones. The momentum sources are evaluated based on the Blade Element Theory,which associateslocal flow parameters in the blade sections with databases of 2D-aerodynamic characteristics of these sections. Apart of the VBM module, two additional UDF modules support the simulation of helicopter flight: the module responsible for modelling of all kinematic aspects of the flight and the module gathering the momentary aerodynamic loads and solves 6 DOFEquations describing a motion of the helicopter seen as solid body. Exemplary simulation of helicopter flight, starting from a hover, through an acceleration and fast flight until a deceleration and steep descent, has been discussed.

In trimmed flight of a helicopter, all the forces and moments, aerodynamic, inertial, and gravitational, are in balance. Keeping the helicopter in trimmed state, needs a precise adjustment of flight controls. The methodology of simulation of a fully trimmed flight of rotorcraft has been developed and applied to simulate hover of a helicopter. The presented approach is based on a solution of Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) equations. In contrast to typical solutions of such problem, in the newly developed methodology, the flight controls corresponding to the trimmed-flight conditions are also determined based on the solution of URANS equations. The methodology is based on coupling of several computational models of Computational Fluid Dynamics and Flight Dynamic. The URANS equations are solved in a three-dimensional region surrounding the flying helicopter, using the ANSYS FLUENT code. The approach is truly three-dimensional, with truly modelled geometry and kinematics of main and tail rotor blades. This applies to modelling of blade flapping and lead-lag motion, too. The trimming procedure uses six independent parameters (i.e. collective and cyclic pitch of main rotor blades, collective pitch of tail rotor blades, pitch, and bank angles of a helicopter) that should be adjusted so as to balance all forces and moments acting on the helicopter. The detailed description of the developed methodology as well as the results of simulation of trimmed hover of the helicopter was presented.
