  ABSTRACT: The key and bottleneck of research on the tip-jet rotor compound helicopter lies in the power system. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was used to numerically simulate the gas generator and rotor inner passage of the tip-jet rotor composite power system, studying the effects of intake mode, inner cavity structure, propellant components, and injection amount on the characteristics of the composite power system. The results show that when a single high-temperature exhaust gas enters, the gas generator outlet fluid is uneven and asymmetric; when two-way high-temperature exhaust gas enters, the outlet temperature of the gas generator with a tilted inlet is more uniform than that with a vertical inlet; adding an inner cavity improves the temperature and velocity distribution of the gas generator's internal flow field; increasing the energy of the propellant is beneficial for improving the available moment.
