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 performed 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.
