Recent advances in CFD are surveyed, with a focus on the applicability of codes based on the Navier-Stokes (NS) equations to helicopter aerodynamics. The developmental history of two- and three-dimensional NS codes is recalled; the formulations employed by codes of increasing complexity are outlined; and previous reviews are noted. Particular attention is given to Reynolds-averaged NS methods and their use in analyzing subsonic, transonic, and vortex-dominated flows. Typical numerical results are compared with experimental data in diagrams and graphs, and a number of outstanding problems are considered.
