Keywords: helicopter, propeller, turbomachinery, unsteady flows, euler, navier-stokes

This paper presents a review of 3D unsteady Euler and Navier-Stokes computations performed at ONERA with the CANARI code and more recently with the elsA software around rotating devices as propeller blades, helicopter rotor blades and turbomachinery bladings. Validation of the unsteady computations is made by comparison with experimental data.
