Verification of the Axial Momentum Theory for Propellers with a Uniform Load Distribution

The paper provides an evaluation of the errors embodied in the Axial Momentum Theory (AMT) as applied to a uniformly loaded actuator disk model without wake rotation. Although this model exhibits some unphysical features, such as the tip singularity and the violation of the angular momentum equation...
