Propeller Slipstream Correction for Wind Tunnel Applications: A panel method approach to model propeller induced rotational flow for aircrafts in mid/high thrust condition

In the post processing of acquired wind tunnel force measurements, propeller-driven aircrafts need a preliminary correction of the propeller slipstream. Propeller slipstream effect has two major contributions to the flow field. The first one is the increase in dynamic pressure and the second is the addition of rotation in the flow field. Without...
