Numerical simulations of helicopter aerodynamic interactions among the main rotor,fuselage,engine inlets/outlets and slung loads of specific geometries have been conducted by very few researchers.In this work,the steady-state compressible Reynolds-averaged navier-stokes equations are solved to study the aerodynamic interactions among helicopter rotor,fuselage,engine and body of revolution in three cases,namely MI-171V5,ROBIN and UH-60A.In the first case,the downwash flow provided by the rotor of the uniform actuator disc model induces a significant deflection of the airflow velocity.The vortex-shaped distribution and evolution are discussed in detail.The engine can effectively change the overall flow field.The asymmetry of the flow field is observed by using the non-uniform actuator disc model.Qualitative analysis of ROBIN and quantitative computation of UH-60A show a consistent accuracy of the rotating reference frame model for rotor.The blade tip vortex motion of UH-60A is simulated and its radial position prediction is compared to empirical formulas.While performing flow of UH-60A in hover,both the fuselage normal force and rotor lift decrease because of the impact of the body of revolution.

In the first case, the downwash flow provided by the rotor of the uniform actuator disc model induces a significant deflection of the airflow velocity. The vortex-shaped distribution and evolution are discussed in detail. The engine can effectively change the overall flow field. The asymmetry of the flow field is observed by using the non-uniform actuator disc model. ROBIN and quantitative computation of UH-60A show a consistent accuracy of the rotating reference frame model for rotor. Blade tip vortex motion of UH-60A is simulated and its radial position prediction is compared to empirical formulas.While performing flow of UH-60A in hover, both the fuselage normal force and rotor lift decrease because of the impact of the body of revolution.
