THE AXIAL VELOCITY FIELD OF AN OPTIMUM INFINITELY BLADED PROPELLER

Abstract

The report gives the axial induced velocity ahead of an infinitely bladed propeller. The propeller is simulated by a close succession of ring vortices whose strength varies along the propeller radius and which extend from the propeller plane to infinity. The results are compared with those obtained for a propeller represented by a uniform sink disc.
