Applying Dynamic Wake Models to Induced Power Calculations for an Optimum Rotor

Abstract

This work continues previous inflow work in that it extends it to the flow below the disk both in and out of the shed wake. In addition, the work utilizes that new inflow model to offer optimum power states for rotors in hover and in forward flight.
