Inviscid, three-dimensional, unsteady e ow computational results for the aerodynamic interaction between a rotor and a hemispherical-cylinder airframe are presented. A multiblock strategy is used, with separate grids for the fuselage and the rotor blades. An overset grid methodology is used to communicate the e ow information between the grids. In each grid a second-order temporally accurate, e fth-order spatially accurate, implicit e nite volume scheme is employed to solve the Euler equations. The vortical wake generated by the blade is captured from e rst principles. The vorticity patterns that impinge on the airframe are analyzed, and the surface-pressure distributions on the airframe are compared with experimental values.
