Abstract

Content: This paper provides an assessment of modern CFD methods in predicting the rotor blade performance for advanced planform blade designs. The Langley BERP blade with an advanced tip shape is the primary supporting test case with results also presented for simpler blade designs such as the Langley Baseline and PSP rotor blade. The CFD
