Is there someone who know where I could to found a formula about the interraction between two rotor supperposed like the one for the helicpter Kamov.
 
the people here can send you where you need to go they have info on just about every flying contraption ever thought of good luck
 
Stepniewski developed equations for twin rotors in hover. Johnson (page 120) indcates that coaxial rotors required 20% more power due to interference effects.
 
This page may lead you to some of the information you are seeking. []

The book 'Principles of Helicopter Aerodynamics' by J. Gordon Leishman probably has the most current 'western' calculations on the co-axial configuration.

Hope this helps.
