Flow field evolution and thrust behavior of rotors in Free Water Surface Effect

Caption

Three distinct phenomena are observed: (1) depression stage—surface sinking without droplets; (2) fountain stage—mild deformation with outward splashing; and (3) boiling stage—intense droplet ejection and atomization. These phenomena support the development of a predictive model for rotor thrust under free water surface effects.
