DESCRIPTION:Operating rotorcraft in the thin Martian atmosphere presents un
 ique aerodynamic and flight dynamics challenges—first addressed during N
 ASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter mission in 2021. This seminar reviews th
 ese challenges for both current and future Mars rotorcraft. Topics include
  the characteristics of the Martian aerodynamic regime\, Earth-based testi
 ng approaches\, and Ingenuity’s flight dynamics validation on Mars.\n\nF
 uture rotorcraft concepts will be significantly larger and more complex th
 an Ingenuity’s coaxial design. Multi-rotor configurations introduce addi
 tional modeling difficulties\, particularly in accurately capturing rotor 
 wake interactions without resorting to computationally expensive blade-res
 olved CFD. To address this\, the seminar will also discuss the application
  of the Viscous Vortex Particle Method (VVPM) as a mid-fidelity tool for s
 imulating rotor wakes in Mars rotorcraft.\n\nSpeaker(s): Tove Agren\, Tove
