Coaxial counter-rotating rotors operate in a flowfield different from single rotors. Aerodynamic interactions such as blade crossing and shed vorticity result in potential sources of noise and impulsive blade loads. In previous research, the authors simulated two trains of airfoils traveling in opposite directions for specified speeds, airfoil thickness and vertical separation distances, using the compressible Navier-Stokes solver OVERFLOW. Previously, the effects of circulation, thickness, and compressibility were explored. This work continues the previous research by exploring downwash and shed vorticity effects. These phenomena are explored by simulating two trains of eight airfoils vertically separated traveling in opposite directions. The effects of downwash are simulated by introducing a vertical flow. Vorticity shed from the upper train of airfoils is shown to interact with the lower train, affecting the loading on the lower airfoils. Furthermore, viscid and inviscid calculations are performed to further understand the behavior of shed vorticity.
