Abstract
The present study forms an investigation of wake breakdown in hover using the HMB3 solver. Simulations are performed for the PSP rotor blade in hover on a grid aimed at resolving the detailed flow structures in the rotor wake. An assessment of different solver settings is per- formed including time discretisation, spatial discretisation accuracy and turbulence modelling on the rotor wake resolution and formation of instabilities. A particular focus is put on the existence and resolution of S-shaped structures due to the interactions of the blade tip vortices with the shear layers.
