Abstract
Preliminary results from a PIV study of the orthogonal blade-vortex interaction are presented. This report presents a comparison of the details of the orthogonal BVI over the lower and upper surfaces of the blade. Detailed differences in the mechanics of these interactions have been noted. Features of the vortex behaviour in the wake of the blade
are also presented together with the results obtained at very close proximity to the blade surface
