Abstract: The description of the moving grid-strategy is presented. Based on transfinite interpolation, an O-H type grid around one blade is generated. In each subdomain, the weighting funtion is given to account for the time-variation of its nodes. The multi-block grid modelling the whole rotor is achieved by the construction of grid-blocks around each blade which are connected with coincident nodes on their common boundaries, the flowfield of a rotor is calculated by considering the transport of interface information. The calculated results show that the moving grid possesses feasibility and effectiveness.
