A Wake Model for the Prediction of Propeller Performance at Low Advance Ratios

A low order panel method is used to predict the performance of propellers. A wake alignment model based on a pseudounsteady scheme is proposed and implemented. The results from this full wake alignment (FWA) model are correlated with available experimental data, and results from RANS for some prope...
