Summary:Results of blade-vortex interaction experiments (BVI) which are the second series of tests carried out at Glasgow University to improve the facility are reported. Data obtained reveal that the BVI phenomena is dominated by the growth and collapse of the leading edge suction peak, and by the corresponding increase and subsequent reversal of lift. High temporal resolution of the pressure data provides a clearer representation of the vortex convection effects, and their relationship to perturbations in the force and moment coefficient histories.
