Abstract: A finite volume method is used to solve the 3 D Navier Stokes equations to imitate the flow field and performance characteristics of a rotor in a forward flight near the ground. The rotor is modeled as a distribution of momentum sources, the strengths of which are determined from an iterative manner of calculating the local flow field properties, the rotor geometry and the aerodynamic characteristics of the blade cross section. The disturbance of wake with the ground and the phenomenon of the ground vortex are investigated for several advance ratios and flight heights.
