LINEARIZED THEORY FOR PROPELLERS IN STEADY FLOW

Abstract

Detailed derivations are presented of the expressions for the steady-state disturbance velocity at a propeller blade due to pressure loading and thickness. A procedure for separating lifting line velocities from the total is outlined, and conclusions are drawn regarding the presence of camber and incidence corrections for propellers with symmetrical blades and chordwise load distributions.
