This paper describes the Transient Simulation Method (TSM) which predicts the steady state and performance of autorotation in forward flight. Flapping and rotational equations of motion are integrated from an arbitrary initial rotor speed, and the steady state of autorotation is obtained as a periodic solution through a transient process. The induced velocity field update method and the average thrust, lift, and drag computations during the transition are described in detail. TSM is then applied to the model rotor to validate the feasibility. High speed autorotation is simulated using an aerodynamic data set that is analyzed by the two-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes Solver. Rotor speed variation for increases in airspeed at low shaft angle is presented and discussed. When TSM is used with sophisticated aerodynamic data analyzed as functions of the blade angle of attack, the Reynolds number, and the Mach number, the autorotation range for the collective pitch, velocity, and shaft angle can be reasonably explored.
