Orthogonal Vortex-Propeller Interaction: Vortex Response and Impact on the Propeller Performance

In some situations, concentrated vorticity which forms a vortical flow is involved in the inflow of a propeller. The impingement of the vortex on the propeller has several detrimental effects, e.g., foreign object damage during ground operation, impact on the propeller performance, unsteady loading on the blade, and tonal noise generation. The...
