In the present study, viscous flow calculations of helicopter main rotor system in forward flight were made by using an unstructured hybrid mesh solver. Each rotating blade relative to the cartesian frame \lias simulated independently by adopting unstructured overset mesh technique. For the validation of the present method, calculations for the Caradonna-Tung non-lifting forward flight and the AH-1G main rotor system in forward flight were made. Additional computation was made for the UH-60A rotor in forward flight. Reasonable agreements were obtained between the present results and the experiment.
