ABSTRACT
Validation is the essential process of evaluating the precision and reliability of analytical
tests were designed for validation of propeller design and analysis techniques. This work focused
primarily on small propellers operating at lower Reynolds numbers in the range of 90,000 to
120,000, which is particularly helpful for unmanned aerial vehicle applications. Extensive
propeller and experimental apparatus geometries along with test section spatial dimensionality are
described. An open-source computer-aided design (CAD) method was used to create the propeller
blades, nacelle, and spinner surface outlines, aiming for easy reproduction. Two different propeller
designs were tested: a simple propeller with a constant pitch-to-diameter ratio, chord length, and
thickness; and a complex propeller with a pitch-to-diameter ratio and chord length as a function of
blade radius. Both propellers with a variable pitch of five degrees increment were tested at several
angle settings. Critical test section flow field and geometry information that can be used as
boundary conditions are also presented in this study. In addition to classical propeller performance
plots of thrust and torque coefficients and efficiency against the advance ratio, nacelle surface
pressure distribution in terms of coefficients and propeller wake survey results are provided. Two
different wind tunnels were utilized to evaluate the experimental and facility bias. Known errors,

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
A propeller is a device that generates thrust or force in a fluid medium such as water or air.
A mass of fluid medium driven by the propeller causes a reaction in the opposite direction, that is,
the craft’s forward thrust. An airscrew propeller, commonly used on aircraft, screws or twists its
way through the air, pushing or pulling the aircraft forward as it turns. The rotational kinetic energy
increment added by the shaft power in the air moving backward, also called the slipstream, cannot
be regained and is considered a power loss [1, 2]. Another type of energy loss may be the friction
between the air and propeller blades. Therefore, the thrust available or power produced by the
propeller is less than the power provided by the engine. A propeller designer aims to increase the
ratio of useful power to engine power in order to obtain greater propulsive efficiency.
During World War II, propeller propulsion achieved a standard that was quite high. With
the debut of jet engines, the progress in propeller propulsion struggled for a period of a time. But
with the increase in the price of oil, there has been great demand for optimally improving the
efficiency of propeller propulsion, hence making it the most economical means of propulsion [3].
Most aircraft propellers are run by internal combustion engines, and the best propeller performance
is at a certain speed of revolutions whereby the engine is designed to operate at its highest
efficiency. With recent improvement in lithium-ion battery technology, the use of electrical motors
with innovative propeller designs has increased rapidly, especially in small unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs). This requires a large shift in design from traditional propellers to a new propeller
design and analysis method for different environments. In addition to its aerodynamic efficiency,
1
a propeller must also show its structural trustworthiness with sufficient strength, that is, longer
performance is not always the only priority in choosing propellers. For instance, it may be
necessary to have wide blades with a low tip speed to lower the noise level of a propeller. Also,
the propeller diameter can be limited based on of ground clearance or the distance from the nacelle
to the fuselage. Propeller and motor dynamics also need to be in compliance. Furthermore, the
impulse response of the engine should not match the natural frequency of the first bending mode
or harmonics of the blade. This will lead to excessive vibration and ultimately fatigue failure [5].
From an aircraft performance and designer point of view, it might be important to choose
a propeller with a high static thrust for takeoff and a high efficiency at cruise. With an appropriate
propeller mechanism, these are relatively easy to achieve if the propeller pitch is variable. A fixed-
pitch propeller requires settling for something between these two extremes. The pitch of the
propeller defines the distance it translates through the air in one revolution without slipping. The
rotation of the whole blade about its long axis determines if the blade has a fixed or variable pitch.
A constant-pitch propeller has the same twist throughout the radius of the entire blade and refers
The design procedure of a propeller is not well defined [5]. Generally, one must first decide
on the number of blades, which may be based on experience or could be an arbitrary number, for
starting its design and the analysis iteration process. Similarly, pitch distribution contributes
essentially to the efficiency and performance of the propeller. The results of stress calculations
determine whether the thickness distribution needs to be changed or not. Finally, a radial
2
The propeller analysis and design process and its historical development will be discussed
in detail in sections to follow. As explained, each method has its advantages and disadvantages.
An attempt has been made to provide additional detailed information, especially for low Reynolds
numbers that will eventually improve the methods of both analysis and design.
As discussed briefly in this section, three main concerns are involved in the propeller
design process. These issues, in order of their importance and difficulty level, are introduced here.
The first issue in this process is to design a propeller according to the rotational speed
desired by the engine or motor. A rotating propeller causes resistance as it turns around the shaft
axis. This resistance, also known as torque, Q, increases as the rotational speed increases.
Therefore, the speed of revolution is decided by the power available to spin the propeller. In
contrast, engines and motors operate most efficiently at their designated rate of revolution.
Designing a propeller for a certain rate of revolutions that are suitable for a motor is a relatively
easier task, but the speed of the aircraft for which it is designed to perform must also be considered,
and this has considerable impact on the torque or power settings. Consequently, it is difficult to
design a propeller based only on its engine performance without knowing the aircraft operating
speed. In other words, an individual propeller must be designed for each combination of aircraft
and engine, which makes the effort challenging. Therefore, it is essential to develop a reliable
The second issue in the design process is to create an efficient propeller. Only a portion of
power, P, generated by the engine is converted into thrust, T, and the remainder primarily disperses
into the slipstream. Efficiency (η) is the ratio of the useful power delivered by the propeller and

P
where U is the velocity of the aircraft. Typically, the efficiency of the propeller is shown by a
percentage, and a designer aims to maximize this value by applying a reliable and accurate analysis
method.
The final issue in the design process is to develop a dependable and safe propeller. A series
of forces and bending moments act on a rotating propeller due to centrifugal forces and thrust.
Also, vibration and torque of the engine or motor cause severe wear and tear on the blades, shifting
the blade into thicker and heavier designs. In the meantime, it may be challenging to increase the
efficiency and reliability of a propeller because they are mutually opposing matters, but achievable.
However, the toughest obstacle for a designer is the first problem—to design a propeller for a
Early propeller studies conducted by Rankine [6] and Froude [7] in the 19th century
established the fundamentals of momentum theory for a propeller in a fluid medium, such as air
or water. In this theory, an actuator disk replaces the propeller geometry, thus neglecting the
geometric features and the slipstream rotation. In 1900, Drzewiecki [8] introduced the blade
element method, including section lifting surfaces set to an optimum angle of attack. Although
Drzewiecki was the first to introduce the blade element theory, this work failed to account for the
induced velocity at each element. It seems that Wilbur and Orville Wright were the first who
combined the momentum and blade element theories and successfully introduced highly efficient
propellers [9].
In 1925, Weick [10] published the empirical method, “a simple system” for small airplane
designers and builders derived from wind tunnel models and in-flight full-scale tests. Here, design
4
steps are made through easy calculations and charts for a baseline propeller with an average
minute (rpm), and velocity of the operating condition, otherwise performance diminishes. This
method is sufficient only for low-power engines, that is, engines that have a little less than one
With the application of Prandtl’s lifting line theory [11] to propellers, a new era of propeller
development began. Circulation over a finite wing was shown, which is applicable to the propeller
blade as a lifting surface incorporated by the bound vorticity and a vortex sheet shed from the
trailing edge of the blade. Betz [12] showed that a propeller with optimum-induced velocity
distribution causes undeformed or rigid helical vortex sheets to move downstream of the propeller.
This occurs where each point of the radius in a helical wake has the same velocity in axial distance
from the propeller, that is, parallel to the rotation axis, so that the induced loss is minimal. Betz
assumed that the propeller would be lightly loaded, or the slipstream would roll up as wake
contraction occurred. The helicoidal vortex sheet is assumed to move as a rigid body, but that is
not the case in reality. The averaged axial and swirl velocity components between the vortex sheets
of the slipstream are less than the sheet velocities by a factor F. Also, the swirl component of the
velocity varies throughout slipstream radius. Prandtl provided an approximation method, also
called Prandtl’s tip loss factor F, using a series of semi-infinite plates. This factor becomes more
exact as the number of blades increases or the advance ratio becomes smaller.
Goldstein [13] found the exact solution to the ideal Betz wake problem. His vortex theory
resulted in the geometry of a propeller rather than predicting its performance. Lock et al. [8]
applied Goldstein solutions to a design and conducted high-speed aircraft propeller performance
analyses from 1941 to 1945; this work is published in an Aeronautical Research Council report
5
[14]. Throughout a series of National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) reports [15-
18], Theodorsen showed that the same light-loading assumption made by Betz, Prandtl, and
Goldstein was not necessary and could be removed. Due to contraction, instead of Goldstein’s
solution concentrating right behind the propeller, Theodorsen proved that this solution was
effective even far downstream. Theodorsen’s theory, like Goldstein’s solution, resulted in the
In 1949, Crigler [19] applied Theodorsen’s theory to propeller design. The optimum
propeller efficiency can be described from a number of graphs for any design condition. In a more
recent work in 1994, Adkins and Liebeck [20] modified Larrabee’s [21] method by removing the
procedure to calculate the axial velocity of the vortex filament and flow-angle distribution.
Parameters required for analysis and design are the number of blade elements, number of blades,
propeller diameter, hub diameter, revolution speed, freestream velocity, and particularly lift and
drag coefficients of the section design. Accurate airfoil geometry specifications and its
design, thrust or power inputs must be provided in order to obtain chord length and pitch
distribution along the radial direction for an optimum wake or inverting the process for propeller
performance analysis. An open-source program called JavaProp [22], written by Hepperle using a
Java application, is available using Adkins, Liebeck, and Larrabee’s blade element methods, which
is discussed in Chapter 2.
Despite the evolution of the lifting line theory and its robustness, the limitations of this
theory must be considered. First, it is only applied to conventional blades with a large aspect ratio,
not wide-chord propfan blades, for instance. Next, and importantly, high Mach numbers and low

airfoil data [23, 24]. Furthermore, the theory does not account for three-dimensional effects, such
as sweep angle or cross flow, since the bound vorticity is assumed to be straight.
Euler or Navier-Stokes equations, more affordable and accurate. Although still computationally
more expensive than traditional momentum-blade element theory, these methods can implement
viscous phenomena like turbulence and flow separation. Unprecedented details of the propeller
flow field and its interaction with a wing or fuselage are some of the greatest advantages of
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) [23, 25-33]. It appears that the future of CFD methods is
promising; however, some issues need to be addressed. As mentioned above, computational costs
are significant. But with advancement in computer technologies, this problem should be solved
eventually. Another important concern is the lack of validated code to prove that the method is
authentic with a certain level of confidence. When accuracy and limitations of experimental
measurements and CFD codes, grid-density effects, and physical basics are equally known, they
can be compared over a range of specified parameters. A detailed surface and flow-field
comparison with experimental data justifies the code’s ability to accurately model the critical
physics of the flow. Precision in geometric measurements of the actual model is imperative,
especially when operating at low Reynolds numbers. This is because any small defect in
Previous discussions have suggested procedures for assessing the accuracy and credibility
of CFD techniques [34-36]. The scope of this study is to provide comprehensive propeller
experimental data designed for validating analysis and design tools at low Reynolds numbers.
7
Without a doubt, this is the first step in improving tools and processes of modern propeller analysis
and design, in hopes of ultimately enhancing propeller efficiency. The goal here is to provide
extensive measurements of the performance, geometries, flow field, and boundary conditions
required for validation and development of analysis and design tools, particularly for UAV

establishment of the code’s ability. In Chapter 2, we will further discuss the recent analysis

order to satisfy all performance expectations. Hence, an accurate analytical method is required to
achieve this goal. Modern analysis and design processes have evolved over the years, as previously
reviewed in the historical development section of Chapter 1. The different propeller analysis and
design tools that are dominantly used in the field will be examined in this chapter. Any prediction
method must be validated, typically using existing experimental results, in order to endorse its
credibility. The detailed experimental data can verify the tool’s ability and accuracy.
induced angle of attack αi by combining two different methods. This approach allows the
prediction of propeller performance more accurately by examining the aerodynamics of the blade
section. This theory does not particularly account for the flow rotation and tip loss factor, unless it
has been imposed. Approximation of the induced effects gives only a rough estimate for the
analysis. Although this is one of the original blade element methods that accounts for the induced
velocity, with the improvement in computers, the use of this method has diminished [5]. Yet, it is
useful to be familiar with this theory because of its applications to other models, which can be

assuming the pitch is constant throughout the blade radius, where the pitch angle β is the angle
between the plane of rotation and the section chord line. However, for the following analysis, it is
more convenient to define it relative to the zero-lift line instead of the chord line. Figure 1(a) shows
the front view of a rotating propeller with two blades and an angular velocity ω rad/s with incoming
freestream velocity U. The notation on this figure is similar to that of McCormick [5]. Note that
the induced velocity w, shown in Figure 1(b), is much smaller in scale than indicated here.

To find the induced angle of attack αi in equations (2.2) and (2.3) for the following analysis,
assume that αi and the drag-to-lift ratio are small. This assumption is not valid at high disc loadings
or when flow separation occurs, thus causing a deviation in results. Now, the resultant velocity VR

element theory for the analysis. The XFOIL interactive program was applied to predict the section
airfoil characteristics and low Reynolds number effects. Sectional coefficient analysis results for
Re ≤ 60,000 vary significantly and hence are unpredictable. High sensitivity to twist, chord length
distribution, and Reynolds number effects is predicted. Especially, low Reynolds numbers highly
affect the results when the propeller rpm varies throughout advance ratio sweeps. The variation in
rpm causes scattered thrust and torque measurements in the wind tunnel test data. However,
Reynolds number effects cannot be demonstrated well in traditional coefficient plots [24]. Analysis
results for uniform compared to non-uniform induced velocity for the entire blade show a small
difference in thrust coefficients, except at low advance ratios. Uniform induced velocity is
preferred for the analytical method to avoid calculation complexity. Thrust and torque coefficients
as well as efficiency against a series of advance ratio are shown in Figure 2. Wind tunnel tests were
performed in the Basic Aerodynamics Research Tunnel at the NASA Langley Aerospace Research
Center in Virginia and the Vertical Wind Tunnel at the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory in Ohio.
Six “Thin-Electric” propellers, APC series, were considered by Ol et al. [24] for wide-
range selections of the pitch-to-diameter ratio including square propellers (pitch = diameter). Some
wind tunnel results were compared with the experimental data of Brandt and Selig [37], showing
significantly higher efficiency due to “discrepancies” in twist measurements. In Ol’s study, each
blade segment was sliced with a band saw or digitally scanned to render the airfoil, and then input
to the XFOIL program to analyze the section’s aerodynamic performance. A significant uncertainty
in twist angle was observed with an estimate of +/–1 degree. As a result, an inconsistency in twist

distribution was detected in comparison with Brandt’s [37] cross section measurements for the
same propeller. An offset of ±2° in analytical predictions shows a substantial shift in thrust and
torque coefficients and efficiency in Ol’s report. Lack of information on propeller geometry is a
common issue when approaching analytical predictions, since the manufacturer does not provide

Uncertainty remains on the selection of the correct twist angle for blade sections in the analytical
attempts. Nevertheless, it can be argued that the other reason for such a discrepancy is possibly the

“Reynolds number effects” as the result of not choosing the appropriate rpm used in the analytical
method. Small propellers operating at such low Reynolds numbers may produce a massive
separation bubble, thus altering entire section aerodyanmic characteristics, hence occasionally
unpredictable.
2.2 JavaProp
JavaProp is a new version of the SimProp program written by Hepperle in Java on an open
source domain [22]. It is a simple, user-friendly code incorporating blade element theory
introduced by Adkins and Liebeck in designing an optimum propeller [20]. Ignoring the three-
dimensional effects of the blade, it has the additional ability of finding circumferential and axial
velocities added to the incoming flow of each blade element. This simplified method agrees
relatively well with experimental data when disk loading is small but is not accurate under static
The blade element theory with additional Prandtl’s tip loss factor is integrated into
JavaProp to account for the effect of number of blades and tip loss. Yet, this approximation loses
accuracy with fewer blade numbers or at high advance ratios. A series of off-design analyses for a
full range of propeller operating conditions and a detailed analysis for a specific advance ratio can
be executed by the program. These analysis modes predict the propeller performance, if the local
twist and chord distribution as well as the number of blades, propeller diameter, and rpm are
known. Furthermore, the design lift-to-drag ratios of four radial segments must be specified.
The “Multi Analysis” mode in JavaProp computes a full range of thrust and power
coefficients against the advance ratio from static to windmill conditions. Here, the only detailed
description shown is the stalled percentage of the airfoil. For a fixed-pitch propeller operating at
lower freestream velocities, the blade section is mostly stalled since it performs at high angles of
15
attack or beyond the maximum lift. As the advance ratio increases, which is a function of the
freestream velocity, efficiency also increases. However, it is not very clear if the designer
intentionally reached the target efficiency or it may be only because of how the term is defined, as
shown in equation (1.1). The “Single Analysis” mode in JavaProp performs an analysis based on
a given advance ratio or velocity in addition to previous given values. This mode allows for
studying aerodynamic characteristics along the radius. In addition to lift and drag coefficient radial
distributions, the locally induced velocity by the propeller wake is presented as an interference
factor. This factor, in terms of axial and swirl components, is coupled to the incoming flow velocity.
Force and bending moment coefficients are also included for structural stress calculations. The
“Flow-Field Card” in JavaProp offers a convenient study of the slipstream for a specific advance
ratio. The color spectrum describes the axial acceleration of the flow field before and after the
On the other hand, the propeller design process results in the chord length distribution and
geometric pitch angle β along the radius r. The design lift coefficient Cl or lift-to-drag ratio L/D,
which affects the local chord length c, needs to be specified in advance. It is important to emphasize
that the aerodynamic characteristics of an airfoil depend on its chord and thickness. The geometry
of a blade section or an airfoil consists of the airfoil profile, thickness, and chord length, and all
contribute to its performance, although the contribution of each may vary. It is critical that all
The “Airfoil Card” in JavaProp offers a limited airfoil selection along with synthetic airfoil
data which are reproduced considering parameters such as zero lift, maximum lift and minimum
drag coefficients. Randomly choosing the highest L/D airfoil consequently means sacrificing the
off-design performance as well as overall accuracy of the prediction. Smaller design lift coefficient
16
values result in wider blades. Decreasing the L/D at the tip widens only the tip chord length. For
off-design performance at a lower speed or high disk loadings, it is necessary to reduce the lift
coefficient for inboard sections to delay the stall when the blade sections are wider and set at lower
angles. The engine/motor and propeller combination may influence system performance, which
can be derived from the power coefficient and rpm curve. To satisfy the optimum propeller theory
originally presented by Betz and Prandtl, the following design parameters [22] need to be
prescribed:
Number of Blades
A propeller with more blades increases the uniform distribution of thrust and power in the
wake of the propeller but with a small improvement in efficiency. For a constant power or thrust,
an increase in the number of blades causes shortening of the chord length. Reducing the propeller
diameter is the tradeoff for maintaining the chord length, although this will usually decrease
efficiency if the tip speed is less than Mach one. The number of blades B also contributes to the
propeller solidity σ, which represents the ratio of blade area to disk area as defined, and directly
contributes to the thrust and power coefficients—see equations (2.13) and (2.14).
Velocity
Freestream velocity along with rotational speed defines the pitch distribution of the
propeller. The desired efficiency might be obtained by increasing the pitch of the propeller but
causes the blade to stall at certain incoming flow speeds or rotational speeds.
Diameter
The diameter of the hub determines the effective propeller diameter. The effect of the
propeller diameter on performance is significant: the larger the propeller diameter, or consequently
the propeller area, from the continuity equation, the more thrust that can be obtained for a constant
17
velocity along the control volume. On the other hand, the same effect can be observed on high-
aspect-ratio wings on sailplanes that produce more lift with less drag or L/D. In general, the best
The prescription of drag polar and design angle of attack at each radial location is more
convenient than section design lift and drag coefficients. Figure 3 shows an example of a canned
or artificial airfoil drag polar used in JavaProp, which characterizes essentially zero lift, maximum
lift coefficient, and minimum drag coefficient. Usually, a propeller maximum efficiency can be
obtained when the section lift-to- drag ratio is at its peak. Lower angle of attack settings work
better for the overall design aspects that include off-design conditions since the stall occurs gently.
Regardless of how one delays stall by controlling the lift-to-drag ratio, analysis results are

Desired Thrust or Power Available
Based on the total drag or the available motor, either the desired thrust of the propeller or
Density
18
Fluid density does not have any influence on the power or thrust coefficients as well as
efficiency, but it greatly impacts the propeller size and shape. For example, hydro-propellers have
smaller dimensions compared to airscrews. Moreover, the air density determines whether the tip
has reached supersonic speed. Values for power and thrust are calculated directly from the fluid
density.
The Adkins and Liebeck design method used in JavaProp is intended to correct Larrabee’s
difficulties and find the exact solution. With specifications of the previous terms, the following
iterative design procedure is used to find the pitch and chord-length distribution.
a. Select an initial estimate for the ratio of vortex displacement velocity to the freestream
b. Find Prandtl’s momentum loss factor and flow angle at each element.
c. Calculate the product of the local total velocity and blade section chord along with the local
Reynolds number.
d. Determine the airfoil section drag-to-lift ratio and angle of attack from the airfoil data.
e. For the minimum drag-to-lift ratio, revise Cl, and repeat step c.
f. Calculate the axial and rotational interference factors as well as local total velocity.
g. Determine the blade chord length using step c results, and twist β.
h. Find the four derivatives as defined, and integrate them over the blade region.
j. If the new value for v’/U is different from the old value (e.g., 0.1%), then return to step b.
k. Determine the propeller efficiency and other parameters, such as propeller solidity.
These steps usually take more than a few iteration cycles to converge. Also, the viscous loss term
19
Although JavaProp is a fast and user-friendly code, it has its limitations, as discussed
previously. Predictions where flow separation occurs are poor, e.g., at high disk loadings or low
advance ratios. Furthermore, restrictions limit the section blade aerodynamic characteristics that
can be implemented. Finally, boundary layer interactions with complex phenomena in cases such
as three-dimensional effects, Mach number effects, etc., are ignored in JavaProp. Users must agree
on whether to sacrifice accuracy in order to obtain a quick and fairly reasonable estimate.
experimental data [38]. The geometry was imported by the JavaProp “Geometry Card” feature
using a three-bladed propeller and Clark Y section airfoil at Re = 500,000. However, it is not clear
if the airfoil data used appropriately represented the exact tested propeller blade characteristics.
Figure 4 shows all validation results obtained in coefficient forms and efficiency against advance
ratio J.
Angles settings show the pitch angle at 75% radius, or 0.75R. The thrust coefficient (shown
in the upper left portion of Figure 4) only agrees with the trend of the linear region of the curve
with a systematic shift, but not as much where the flow is mostly separated. Here, a similar trend
is apparent, as the analysis results underpredict the experimental data, as was shown in momentum-
blade element theory validations. The power coefficient curves (right side of Figure 4) show an
identical trend to the thrust coefficient graph, with large deviations at the lower advance ratios.
Note that the experimental data has some discontinuities as well, depending on each test condition.
Generally, a propeller operates at the linear region of this regime, except for takeoff and
landing. The efficiency curve may cancel out practical errors since it depends on both the thrust
and power coefficients. It may not be wise to validate a method with the efficiency plot.
20
Nonetheless, the more accurate it becomes, the better its assessment on overall aircraft
performance.
Unlike the previous momentum-blade element theory, vortex theory incorporates the
induced effect. A complex iterative process and, therefore, an increase in calculation time is
inevitable for obtaining considerably more accurate results. The vortex theory starts with
consideration of the ultimate wake of the optimum propeller, or Betz’s condition, as discussed
previously in Chapter 1.

Studies have been conducted to justify the assumption that the normality condition holds
between the effective velocity VE and the induced velocity w (see Figure 1). Prandtl’s tip loss

side of the equation is used in the momentum-blade element, where cos2αi ≈ 1, since αi is assumed
to be a small angle. Other refinements to the angle of attack and the lift coefficient in vortex theory
Validation of vortex theory was attempted by Moffitt et al. [36] for UAV-scale propellers
using similar method to measure blade-section geometry, as described in section 2.1. A given full-
scale propeller was also designated by McCormick [5] to exercise vortex theory applications and
compare with wind tunnel data for validations. This three-blade 5868-9 propeller has a Clark Y
section with chord, twist, and thickness distribution, as provided by previous researchers [38-40].
Although details on other geometric features and test conditions are not specified, results are used
relatively easy to utilize since the computer programming procedure is provided to predict the
performance of this specific propeller. Software Maple 16 was used for developing this program.
Results for thrust and torque coefficients in addition to efficiency are shown in Figure 5.
Most airfoil characteristics, except post-stall lift coefficient behavior, are estimated with a
no-detail description of the approximation process. The Cl range is limited between –0.8 and 1.2
23
for this calculation. As discussed, a major portion of the propeller blade stalls at a lower advance
ratio. Evidently results for the thrust coefficient in this region are poor; however, it becomes
astonishingly accurate in the linear region (see Figure 5). As discussed previously, the blade twist
angle β needs to be adjusted to the zero-lift line instead of the chord line. McCormick estimates

Figure 5. Vortex theory, JavaProp, and propeller 5868-9 experimental results [39] comparison,
with designated blade angle at 0.75R.
Close agreement of vortex theory predictions is clear when the blade is at lower angles or
not stalled. This is because the airfoil characteristics are fairly known in this region. As the advance
ratio decreases, the section angle of attack increases, and the blade starts to stall from the inboard
section of the blade. The results of vortex theory prediction show linear behavior for the thrust
coefficient throughout the advance ratio (shown in left top of Figure 5). No post-stall treatment is
25
applied for the airfoil lift coefficient. The power coefficient and efficiency curves coincide rather
well with the test data. However, JavaProp analysis has a systematic under-prediction for most
regions. This deviation possibly indicates that the zero-lift line of the airfoil might be off and not
well prescribed in JavaProp validations, according to Hepperle [22]. Despite the offset of the
results, it appears that the overall outcome of JavaProp is acceptable for the initial design for such
a simple and fast tool. One can argue whether the time and effort used in the programming of
vortex theory is worth the sacrifice of obtaining a more reasonable overall result.
Without a doubt, the most sophisticated and potentially accurate analysis and design tool
is computational fluid dynamics. Solving Euler and Navier-Stokes equations also requires
extensive calculation and central processing unit (CPU) time when compared with previous
analytical methods. This is not the only concern; CFD codes also need to be verified. CFD
mathematical approximation increase the uncertainties in the CFD application [34]. As a result,
the extension of CFD into the design process depends on the credibility of how the code is
validated through experiments, that is, how the code is an essential part of its evolutionary
progress. Two examples are introduced here to show the extent of CFD applications in propeller
An analysis of propeller wake interference effect was conducted by Strash et al. [26]. Their
results are compared with wind tunnel test data obtained by the Flygtekniska Försöksanstalten
(FFA) or Aeronautical Research Institute of Sweden [41, 42] in the late 1980s. The extensive
26
experimental data consist of four nacelle/wing combinations where axisymmetric nacelle and
axisymmetric nacelle/wing combinations were used for validations (see Figure 6). Time-averaged
pressure distribution over the nacelle and wing, a velocity components survey on the propeller
slipstream, and typical thrust and torque measurements for a single advance ratio of 0.70 were
investigated. The propeller used was a one-fifth scale model of a Dowty Rotol R243 propeller on
It seems that the vast amount of experimental data is best suited for CFD validations as
used in other studies [28, 33]. Nonetheless, despite specifications of nacelle/wing geometry and
wind tunnel model installation, no information on the propeller geometry is available except for
the diameter of 0.64 m. Reluctantly, Strash et al. [26] compromised the R243 propeller to a similar
one but with a different section chord and twist distribution than the Dowty Rotol R212 propeller
that was apparently available. Therefore, credibility of the validation of this study is questionable
since the exact propeller geometry is unknown. It seems like this is a common issue in most
27
validation processes, as explained in previous examples, before examining the credibility of the
code.
The calculated thrust coefficient was 12% off from the test data. The surface pressure
coefficient distribution along the x-axis of nacelle is presented in Figure 7 at an advance ratio of
0.7. Figure 7 (a) represents the propeller/nacelle combination with no wing interaction at a
0-degree angle of attack, and Figure 7 (b) shows this for a 10-degree angle of attack. Strash et al.

The same FFA wind tunnel data was applied for validation purposes in numerical

Another dilemma in CFD validation is when the code developer only holds details of the
propeller model geometry and tunnel boundary conditions, which have not been disclosed to the
public. Moffitt et al. [30] compared the experimental data of a sub-scale six-bladed propeller
designed by Aero Composites Inc. to the solution of a Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes CFD flow
solver. Geometry descriptions of this investigation exclusively belong to the United Technologies
Research Center (UTRC). Generally, readers are not able to verify and compare a code’s ability to
any other published test data for this reason. Eventually, analysts must run a series of wind tunnel
tests for the purpose of individual validation. In addition to feasibility of the facility and cost of
the wind tunnel testing, the experiment needs to be designed and scaled for a validation goal.
The results of propeller testing and CFD analysis were compared by Moffitt using the
prescribed traditional vortex theory [36]. Figure 9 shows the UTRC wind tunnel settings and
computational domain for the tunnel boundaries and propeller geometry. To assess the fabricated
blade geometry, a white light scan was used on three of the six propeller blades made with
29
maximum variations of a few thousandths of an inch. Moffitt et al. concluded that the CFD codes
agreed better than the classical vortex theory, especially in predicting thrust and torque as a
function of blade pitch angle. Also, they argued that the code has the ability to overcome the effects
of a low Reynolds number, wall blockage, and other measurement difficulties in the predictions.
Another CFD propeller analysis problem is using an inadequate validation method. The
experiment chosen by Westmoreland et al. [29] for code validations consisted of two untwisted
symmetric rotor blades at hover [43]. Although this test was comprised of a pair of rotating blades
set at a five-degree angle of attack, the helicopter rotor model did not fully replicate the complex
propeller geometry. Moreover, the pressure coefficients of the rotor blade surfaces were compared,
not the expected propeller thrust and torque coefficients. Recognizing the existing problems in
CFD propeller analysis, especially in its validation methods, the urgency to solve these issues and
build confidence in CFD results is high. Chapter 3 presents a summary of the problems and goals,

Validation is the primary means to examine the precision and reliability in analytical and
computational solutions [35]. The basic method of validation is to quantify error and uncertainty
of prediction in simulation and compare this with experimental data. As the examples in Chapter
2 describe, propeller analysis and prediction methods suffer from lack of extensive experimental
data designed specifically for validation purposes. This chapter provides a summary of the
problems and difficulties in existing propeller analysis. Furthermore, the objectives of this project
Geometry Details
For most validation experiments, few details on propeller, spinner, nacelle, and tunnel test
section geometry are available. The absence of any of these geometric features or even accurate
confirmation of the constructed model dimensions causes a severe failure in the essential physics
of modeling. Especially, the complex geometry of the propeller blade requires a comprehensive
instruction of reproduction or modeling procedure. Accessibility of wind tunnel data for section
A series of analysis was executed to evaluate the influence of each critical factor in design,
fabrication, and testing environment. JavaProp was utilized for its convenience and its broad setup
flexibility in model selections to compare results. 17×12 APC Thin-Electric propeller twist and
chord distribution was used as the baseline. Factors found to have the most impact on the propeller
performance are, in order, the following: pitch angle, chord length, section airfoil, and airfoil
aerodynamics characteristics used based on its operating Reynolds number. Figure 10 to Figure 13

show sensitivity comparisons of individual variable as indicated for a generic propeller. An
additional measurement of the blade deformation or calculated load of deformed components can
also be helpful. Spatial dimensionality of the wind tunnel test section, as well as geometric
specifications of the nacelle, spinner, and model mount, etc., must be fully documented.

Test Conditions
Boundary conditions of the experiment are also critical parameters for computational
simulations that are frequently missed in validation reports. Typically, these consist of average
quantities of test section freestream velocity, dynamic pressure or total pressure with static
pressure, and total temperature. Essentially, all measurements are required to be calibrated for
wind tunnel testing. Turbulence intensity, boundary layer thickness, and boundary layer transition
are also supplemental quantities. Although it is important for CFD turbulence codes to reference
these data as accurately as possible, some wind tunnel facilities are reluctant to measure or disclose
detailed flow quality. Furthermore, the position of all instrumentation needs to be specified for

Lack of collective global and local measurements is evident in previous work. These are
propeller thrust and torque coefficients, and efficiency as a function of the advance ratio. Local
measurements may include nacelle surface pressure coefficients, slipstream local velocity
distribution and its components, and wing surface pressure distribution. Also valuable are
revolution speed, local Reynolds numbers, and freestream velocity, since they can identify the
effects of coupled parameters against each other. Similarly, accuracy and limitations of individual
instruments are recommended to be introduced. In addition, methods of dynamic and/or static tare

are not widely used in validation experiments. Finally, repeatability tests on the model and facility
are advised, for example, duplicating the test on a different day with the same test conditions. Also,
repeatability on a reconstructed model can be beneficial if cost and time allow. Exercising another
wind tunnel facility with the equivalent test conditions proves that the results are independent from
instrumentation bias.
on two propellers, primarily for low Reynolds number propeller performance validations.
The primary purpose of this effort is to provide a database for analysts to assess the validity
existing problems discussed above, the following steps were taken to achieve the objectives above:
Geometry
Primarily, a simple blade propeller with a constant pitch-to-diameter ratio, chord length,
and thickness was tested. Then, a practical blade propeller with a varying pitch-to-diameter ratio
and chord length as functions of the propeller radius was evaluated. The applied blade section

particularly lower Reynolds numbers by different sources. All critical geometries are reproducible
via simple programming or an accessible computer-aided design (CAD) file. The test section

geometry, nacelle, spinner, and model mount geometries are presented. The coordinate measuring
machine (CMM) or 3D scan (point cloud) measured accuracy of the blades’ actual fabrication.
Test Conditions
The freestream flow was calibrated at the test section by measuring the average freestream
velocity, total and static pressures, and tunnel temperature. The experimental procedure and
apparatus descriptions were provided from the work of Merchant and Miller [45]. The test section
inlet and outlet pressures, test section pressure gradient, and instrumentation positions were
determined. Known wind tunnel flow quality, such as turbulence intensity and flow angularity, are
provided.
Collective Results
Thrust coefficient, power or torque coefficients, and revolutions per minute for an
adjustable pitch propeller with five degrees increment were obtained as global quantities. In
addition, nacelle surface pressure distribution and propeller wake velocity components were
measured as local quantities. Some crucial low Reynolds number effects on results were captured
using a variety of rpm and freestream velocity tests. Corrected and uncorrected wind tunnel
blockage data and the method of dynamic and static tares are provided.
Experimental Errors
Repeatability tests on the propeller model, test condition, test facility (wind tunnel), and

specifications are described in detail in this chapter. The measurement system and experimental
This section provides all the geometry details necessary for modeling and reproduction
purposes. This includes the wind tunnel, model installation apparatus, and all critical components
Tests were carried out in two separate low-speed wind tunnel facilities with different test
section geometries. Initially, all tests were conducted in the 3-foot by 4-foot low-speed wind tunnel
(3×4 LSWT) at Wichita State University (WSU). This open-return tunnel has a rectangular eight-
foot-long test section that can reach a maximum dynamic pressure of 38 pounds per square foot
(psf). However, results are obtained at a dynamic pressure of no higher than 20 psf. The total
pressure ring is located at the tunnel pre-section inlet, which is 20 feet long and has a cross section
of 7 feet by 10 feet. The static pressure ring is at the test section entrance, and the difference of the
two pressure measurements gives the tunnel dynamic pressure reading that is calibrated to the
center of the test section. However, the indicated dynamic pressure is neither compensated nor
corrected for the presence of the C-strut mount (also referred to as C-mount) since its blockage is

estimated to be less than 0.4% increase in the tunnel dynamic pressure readings. A picture of the
tunnel and its geometry details including the C-mount are presented in Figure 14.

The model was mounted on a sensor/motor platform attached to the C-mount and described
in Figure 15 along with a full-model assembly photograph. The model nacelle front edge was set
at 18.29 ± 0.03 inches from the tunnel C-mount tip, the geometry of which is shown in Figure 14.

7×10 Wind Tunnel at the National Institute for Aviation Research
To minimize the tunnel blockage effect and assess facility bias error in results, more tests
were performed in the Walter Beech Memorial 7-foot by 10-foot low-speed wind tunnel at the
National Institute for Aviation Research (7×10 NIAR). This unique facility has a rectangular test
section that is 7 feet high, 10 feet wide, and 12 feet long, with a contraction area ratio of 6 to 1
from a circular pre-section. A 2,500 horsepower (HP) fan can generate a test speed up to 240 mph
and a maximum dynamic pressure of 125 psf. The closed-loop tunnel has an active heat exchanger

tunnel dynamic pressure was calibrated to the center of the test section and corrected for the
presence of the C-mount. In addition to uncorrected and corrected tunnel q for blockage, two pitot-
static tubes located at the entrance and exit of the test section provide the total and static pressures
for boundary condition settings. Moreover, pressure gradients along the test section are measured
via pressure transducers connected to both test-section side walls. All pressure ports measured the

wiring or tubing at the vicinity of the model or the test section in both wind tunnels.

PD1 Propeller
Two different propeller blade geometries were designed and tested. Initially, a basic
propeller geometry was considered for wind tunnel testing, which was expected to simplify the
modeling and analysis effort for validations. Propeller blade PD1 was selected to have a constant
pitch-to-diameter ratio (p = 12 inches, D = 12 inches, or p/D = 1), chord length, and thickness.
Hence, the geometric twist angle β at 75% blade radius, β0.75, was 23° calculated from
equation (2.1). For the blade profile, an Eppler 387 (E387) airfoil was utilized for its high lift-to-
especially at low Reynolds numbers [46-51]. This airfoil is designed for model gliders operating
at Re = 2.0 × 105 where theoretical predictions and empirical drag polar agree surprisingly well
[51]. The maximum thickness of this airfoil is 9.06% of the chord length and the maximum camber
of 3.2%. The XFOIL program was used to extrapolate 200 profile coordinates from the original 61
42
points, as presented by Somers and Maughmer [46], which are tabulated in Appendix A. For its
manufacturing feasibility, 5% of an inch chord length trailing edge was omitted, as presented in
An open source CAD software written in C++ language, OpenSCAD, was used for the
initial design and outline drawings [52]. Figure 18 shows the software interface. The left-hand side
describes the script file that generates an object, or in this case, the propeller. Initial designs of
critical geometries were rendered by OpenSCAD, the program files of which are provided in
shapes. The profile coordinates were imported into OpenSCAD’s propeller file, and then
43
extruded and twisted to build the blade shape using simple scripted functions. Note that the blade
was twisted at its profile’s centroid, that is, x/c = 40.04% and y/c = 2.95% of an inch chord length
A detailed design was performed using SolidWorks software. The blade file exported in
STL format by OpenSCAD in a metric unit system was imported into SolidWorks. Sixteen profile
segments were extracted, and loft function was used to recreate the geometry for the fabrication
purposes. Figure 19 shows the CAD design of the propeller blade assembly and final computer
numerical control (CNC) machined products. The assembly consisted of the blade, blade root,
pitch angle control plate, and pin for blade pitch angle adjustments with five degrees increment at
three different β0.75 settings: 23°, 28°, and 33°. The blade was connected to the root through two
stainless pins perpendicular to the longitudinal blade axis. The blade was machined from an
aluminum alloy 7075-T6 block. Stress analysis results show that the blade deflection under
maximum loads at β0.75 = 33° is 0.05 inch at the tip in the thrust direction. For the analysis,
44
A 3D scan on both sides of each blade was performed to verify the accuracy of the
constructed models. Figure 20 shows a very good match when comparing the final fabricated blade
to the design CAD geometry, indicating that the variation is within ±0.002 inch, where the accuracy
Figure 20. 3D scan of PD1 propeller blade, within ±0.002 inch accuracy.
COMP Propeller
Likewise, for practical and advanced analysis efforts in validations, a complex propeller
geometry “COMP” was considered. This propeller blade has a twist and chord length as functions
of the blade radius with a constant thickness. Similar to the previous PD1 blade, the E387 airfoil
was utilized. However, contrary to the 5% reduction in the PD1’s trailing edge, 10% was omitted.
The coordinates of this propeller blade are presented in Appendix A. This reduction was necessary
45
to ensure a reasonable trailing-edge thickness of the blade since it has shorter chord length at the
tip of the blade. Since OpenSCAD operates in a metric system, equations are written accordingly.
However, the U.S. unit system is adopted in this document. The blade design was inspired by
Hartman’s 5868-R6 blade form curves, though simplified to fit equivalent polynomial functions
β = 1714.5/r (4.1)
where the propeller radius R = 6.0 inches—or 152.4 mm for equation (4.1)—and β is calculated in
degrees, where the reference β0.75 = 15°. The chord length c (mm) is also described as
where the blade thickness remains constant relative to the chord length of 9.06% to avoid
unnecessary complexity.
Figure 21 shows the OpenSCAD blade design, detailed design, and fully assembled COMP
aluminum blades. Twenty-four profile sections were exported as an STL file and used for the
detailed design in SolidWorks. This propeller also has a variable five-degree increment pitch with
four angle settings that can be manually set at the hub. The blade pitch angles can be adjusted at
β0.75 = 15°, 20°, 25°, and 30°. Structural analysis shows each blade can withstand a maximum
centrifugal force of 77.1 lbf, 1.5 lbf thrust, and 3.1 in-lbf torque loads applied simultaneously with
less than 0.1 inch of deflection at the tip in the thrust direction (at β0.75 = 30°). Figure 22 shows
the 3D scan results for one of the blades. The CNC machining accuracy is satisfactory for such a
small and thin blade and kept mostly under -0.007 inches variation showed in dark purple color.

4.1.3 Model Nacelle-Spinner
Similar steps were taken for the nacelle and spinner designs using OpenSCAD. The
geometry script files are available in Appendix A. These components were constructed using a 3D
printer using polylactic acid (PLA) filaments. The nacelle was divided into halves for easy
accessibility and strapped to the sensor/motor platform. The nacelle surface had a total of 62
orifices—eight around the perimeter and eight in the longitudinal direction—which were
connected to a pressure transducer to measure static pressure. Figure 23 shows the full CAD model
assembly including important dimensions. Two pressure ports are omitted as a slot was made on
the rear bottom of the nacelle for 3×4 LSWT C-mount, as shown in Figure 23. This slot was sealed
for the 7×10 NIAR testing with the original design curvature part shown in Figure 24.
Hub components were also constructed using the 3D printer enclosing the blade root and
the angle control plate, which was installed on the motor shaft. The hub consisted of two parts—
top and bottom—and a U-hold to tighten the propeller blades and hold the hub parts together on
the motor shaft. A magnetic pickup tab was located between the hub and the nacelle. The spinner
enclosed the hub assembly. The spinner was aligned carefully with the nacelle to replicate the
design geometry. The gap between the spinner and the nacelle was 0.05 inch. Two screws were
used to attach the spinner to the hub, and screw caps were designed to fill the holes and render the
geometry. Considerations were made to increase the stiffness of the spinner, in order for it to
withstand high rpm centrifugal forces without deflection. The blades were balanced where the
center of gravity deviated within ±1.0% of the blade length in order to decrease system vibration.
The motor shaft and nacelle alignment were also important to reduce vibration. The gap between
the motor shaft, magnetic pickup, and nacelle were sealed with brushes and tapes. The nacelle and
spinner surfaces were painted and polished several times to achieve a smooth finish.

4.1.4 Model Setup Assessment
Sensitivity analysis in the previous chapter showed that the pitch angle setting significantly
influences performance. Here, a 3D scan was performed to evaluate the hub setup accuracy for a
pitch that is true to the design criteria. The PD1 pitch angle set to β0.75 = 23° is shown in Figure 25
for one blade’s top and bottom sides. Both sides have nominal differences of less than a fifteen
thousandth of an inch when compared to the CAD models. The same results are shown for the
COMP blade in Figure 26. Note that the spinner and nacelle are excluded from the picture to focus
on the pitch setting accuracy. In addition, Figure 27 shows the 3D scan image of the nacelle-spinner
assembly when compared with the CAD design. The overall setup and manufacturing accuracy
were satisfactory for such a large-scale and complex model. Maximum offset appeared in the
nacelle mid-section at approximately +0.07 inch that is less than 1.0% of the nacelle diameter. It
also shows that alignment of the spinner/hub with the nacelle was excellent, which requires an

4.1.5 System Performance Prediction
Numerical analyses were performed for the designed propellers to predict the
performances, integrating JavaProp and vortex theory, as discussed in previous chapters. This also
helped to set an appropriate test matrix. The results are shown in Figure 28 and Figure 29 for the
two models PD1 and COMP, respectively. Since JavaProp does not have the E387 airfoil in its
database, the drag polar of the E193 profile was selected with section L/D set at 30. E193 was
slightly thicker with 10.2% thickness and the maximum camber of 3.0% compared to the E387
9.06% and 3.2% respectively. However, XFOIL aerodynamics analysis showed identical results
for both airfoils. Geometry descriptions of the chord length and blade twist distribution as a
function of the radius were imported into JavaProp for both propellers. The spinner area covered
30% of the propeller diameter. In addition, vortex theory was utilized based on self-written
program with E387 aerodynamics data obtained from the low-turbulence pressure tunnel (LTPT)
polynomial curve for Cd as a function of Cl obtained from a range of α = -3° ~ 8°. Hence, post-
stall treatment on the Cl curve was not implemented. The Cl -α and Cl -Cd relations are,
respectively,
However, JavaProp airfoil database had a drag polar with several key parameters implemented,
such as maximum lift, minimum drag coefficients in addition to post stall trend which is similar to
Figure 3.
52
As shown, performance analysis results between the two methods vary for the PD1 model
as opposed to the COMP propeller. Both thrust and torque predictions have large differences
between the two analysis methods for the PD1 model. This may suggest a large flow separation,
especially when the propeller is highly loaded or at lower advance ratios. On the other hand,
surprisingly, both methods match very well for the COMP model for a range of advance ratios for
thrust and power coefficients as well as efficiency curves. Regardless of the conclusion, analysis
A detailed analysis at a certain test condition was also performed using same methods to
study the aerodynamics characteristics along the radius for both propellers as shown in Figure 30
to Figure 31. The angle of attack, lift and drag coefficients at local radius locations were presented
for one advance ratio where J = 0.20, and the PD1 was set to β0.75 = 23°, and β0.75 = 20° for the
COMP. Although the angle of attack curves had a similar trend for both propellers, the difference
between the two methods was significant for the PD1 propeller. A substantial portion of the blade
was at stall where α > 12° for the PD1, according to the E387 wind tunnel results showed in
Chapter 5. Thus, the difference in post-stall treatment between the two methods was clear in lift
and drag coefficient plots which also explains the PD1 performance plots disagreements.
Finally, Figure 32 shows the local Reynolds number along the radius for the same advance
ratio calculated by JavaProp. The Reynolds number of a significant portion of the blade was under
100,000 (i.e., r/R ≤ 0.75) which can be considered as low Reynolds number. Furthermore, this was
less than 60,000 where r/R was 0.45 or less. Hence, low Reynolds number effect could cause

As documented by Merchant and Miller [45], the measurement system consisted of three
divisions: the sensor/motor platform, instrument and power unit, and data processing devices as
shown in Figure 33. The sensor/motor platform was mounted directly on the C-mount in the 3×4
LSWT and fixed at the nacelle’s center line, concentric with the motor shaft. In the 7×10 NIAR, it
was connected to the C-mount via an adaptor steel pipe, as shown previously in Figure 16.
had a combined nonlinearity and hysteresis of ±0.5% for a rated output of 2 mV/V. The capacity
of the balance was 500 lb for thrust and 500 in-lb for torque directions. Two 1,200-watt DC brushed
electric motors with identical specifications were randomly switched between tests to include
motor performance bias in results. The motor was set on a rigid adaptor specifically designed to
connect the motor to the load cell. The motor holder also encased a 10-VDC magnetic-pickup to

tab measuring a maximum of 20,000 targets/s. The motor temperature was monitored by a
thermocouple attached to the surface of the motor. An insulated adaptor isolated the balance from
the motor’s thermal effects. However, minor heat transfer to the balance may have been picked up
as loads when a high shaft power was required. Although these thermal effects on measurements
are insignificant, they are quantified as thermal error in the following section.
Signals from the balance were sent to a conditioner/amplifier located outside the test
section and then to an array of optical isolators. Finally, the signal processing and reduction was
implemented in the computer and Microsoft Excel® software sheet via a 16-bit analog-to-digital
card. The data acquisition and reduction system, or DAQ, established by Merchant and Miller [45]
in 2006, was written in Visual Basic language. The reduction process incorporated the tunnel
blockage correction for a given propeller diameter and tunnel cross section as described by Glauert
58
[53]. In addition to the load calculations, the DAQ generated non-dimensionalized propeller
performance properties, such as propeller efficiency, coefficients of thrust and torque, etc. Based
on sensitivity studies performed by Merchant, the sample rate was set to 5,000 Hz per channel
with a sample period of 8 seconds. Details of the DAQ are discussed in Merchant’s master’s thesis
[54].
The tunnel dynamic pressures were measured and recorded differently for the two tunnels.
At the 3×4 LSWT, the tunnel dynamic pressure recording was integrated into the DAQ and
readouts were obtained directly from a high precision ±1 psid pressure transducer into the data
reduction system. The tunnel dynamic pressure from the DAQ was compared with the test section
pitot-static probe for a range of dynamic pressure and found to be within ±5.0% of the readings.
For the nacelle pressure port measurements, a 16-channel Scanivalve with a full scale of ±10 in
H2O differential was used. The Scanivalve was set to a different DAQ with a sample rate of 40 Hz
and sample period of 5 seconds, which measured the differential of the local pressure and tunnel
static ring pressure. Data were synchronized with tunnel dynamic pressure measurements after the
In the case of the 7×10 NIAR, the tunnel dynamic pressure was recorded through the tunnel
system separately but collected simultaneously with the load measurements. Data were added into
the DAQ once the testing ended. All pressure transducers read the differential to the tunnel
barometric pressure including tunnel dynamic pressure, nacelle pressure, test section wall pressure,
test section inlet, and outlet pitot tubes. The nacelle pressure ports were connected to a 32-channel
electronic pressure scanner embedded inside the nacelle with a full scale of ±2.5 psid at a 15 Hz
sample rate. The same rate was used for the wall measurements. Entrance and exit probes as well
as a five-hole probe used for the wake survey were sampled at 50 Hz via a ±1.0 psid Scanivalve.
59
The sample period for all tests was 5 seconds, except for the wake survey five-hole probe, which
was 1 second. The cone head five-hole probe had a 60° flow angle receptivity.
The load cell was calibrated for thrust and torque using known weights, as shown in Figure
34 for the thrust direction. The balance had a linear trend when loads were applied or removed
from the apparatus. Interactions between the load readings were accounted for in the final balance
behavior matrix. The calibration procedure frequently was performed to ensure the accuracy of the
load cell and DAQ. When a 5 lb load was applied in the thrust direction, the accuracy of the system
was +1.5% of thrust readings, and for a 1 lb load, this was +1.0% of thrust readings. Based on
balance specifications, the total error for hysterisis, nonlinearity, and nonrepeatability was +0.55%
of rated output. Similar results were observed in the torque measurements. The rpm sensor
measurements were also cross-checked with a calibrated strobe light. The DAQ rpm readouts had
an accuracy of ±0.3%.

The two tunnel dynamic pressures are also calibrated to the one measured at the center of
the test sections. For the tunnel total pressure and temperature in the 3×4 LSWT, the ambient
readouts were input into the DAQ to calculate air density where the deviation was ±1.0% of
readings in a standard day similar test conditions. The indicated dynamic pressure was not
corrected for the blockage of the C-mount, which is estimated to be less than 0.4% increase in the
tunnel dynamic pressure readings. The angle of attack offset was within ±0.2° from zero.
At the 7×10 NIAR wind tunnel, an instant tunnel barometric pressure and ambient
temperature was measured internally for each tunnel dynamic pressure. All pressure measurements
are the differential to the barometric pressure, and system transducers and gauges were calibrated
frequently. The accuracy of the 7×10 tunnel dynamic pressure was 0.1 psf or better when q > 2.5
psf. The tunnel dynamic pressure can be cross-checked with the readouts of two pitot-static probes
located at the entrance and the exit of the test section, especially for q < 2.5 psf. Flow uniformity
and temperature variation across the 7×10 test section is plotted in Figure 35. The highest
investigated tunnel dynamic pressure at 100 psf is where the temperature variation is at peak
The tunnel cross section velocity distribution varies the most at the lowest tunnel dynamic
pressure. However, results show an excellent flow quality at q = 3.8 psf with variation less than
±1.0% of the velocity readings. Corrected tunnel dynamic pressure due to existence of the C-mount
is used for the 7×10 tunnel data comparisons. Although the difference between uncorrected and
corrected data for the presence of the C-mount was very small, both data are available in Appendix
B. The angle of attack α was measured by a calibrated inclinometer prior to each test and a zero-
degree offset was expected to be within ±0.02°. The five-hole probe was also calibrated at two
flow speeds of 16 ft/s and 3280 ft/s or Mach = 3.0 by the Aeroprobe Corporation. The measurement
61
accuracy for the flow angles was up to 0.4°, and 0.8% of the total flow velocity readings. The five-
hole probe calibration details and manual were accessible through the Aeroprobe website [55].
Measurement errors and accuracy are also summarized and tabulated in the following data analysis
section.

4.2.2 Data Corrections and Tares
As explained, corrections due to the propeller blockage were incorporated into the results
for the presented global quantities and tunnel data comparisons. Although an increase in the
velocity increment due to propeller blockage of the tunnel test section should be less than a few
percent except for the static runs, corrections due to the effect are considered. Nevertheless,
uncorrected data for the blockage are provided for the reader’s discretion for validation purposes.
Since the propeller diameter was the same for both propellers, the only variable for the blockage
correction in DAQ was the tunnel cross section. According to the study by Merchant [54], other
tunnel corrections such as solid blockage are negligible, since the total uncertainty is less than
0.3%.
The effect of instruments or support or even parts of a wind tunnel model on measurements
is called tare or interference. Two different types of tare were considered here: static tare and
dynamic tare. Static tare, which was integrated into the DAQ Wind-Off-Zero (WOZ) module, was
considered for the weight of the system attached to the sensor and also for the minor temperature
effects. The average of two WOZ readings, the beginning and the end of each run with ten
measurements, was subtracted from each collected data. The difference of these two readings in
terms of load was treated as thermal effect error since weight distribution variation before and after
runs is zero.
On the other hand, dynamic tare was investigated to mainly exclude the drag effect of the
spinner and study the actual loads generated by the propeller, mainly thrust. A similar method as
that of Ol et al. [24] was used here. Sweeps of tunnel dynamic pressure with all models except the
propeller were tested at certain rpms. Drag was measured and curve-fitted as a function of the
tunnel dynamic pressure, and then added to the specified propeller’s thrust data. This approach
63
makes it applicable to a wide range of tunnel speeds. The results were also calculated and presented
in coefficient forms. Dynamic tare for torque measurements, which is caused by spinner/hub and
shaft power only, was neglected, since it was less than 1% of the readings at maximum with the
propeller on. The same method was taken for the no-spinner no-nacelle models for comparison.
Note that dynamic tare is only applied to the data in the “Dynamic Tare” section in Chapter 5. The
intrusive effect of the five-hole probe on the flow was not considered here (see Figure 36). These
effects are believed to be most severe in the vicinity of the slipstream boundaries and “quite
difficult to estimate,” according to Samuelsson [42]. Nonetheless, pressure values in other regions,
that is, between the blade tip and the root, are considered true.
Figure 36. Five-hole probe wake survey at 7×10 NIAR wind tunnel.
A sweep of tunnel dynamic pressure at each run, which consists of ten data collections, was
set to cover the propeller performance curves for a range of advance ratio. The rpm was pre-set by
a fixed voltage on the power supply to the motor, and variation of the amperage was logged in
order to monitor the shaft power delivered for the operator’s reference. Shaft power varied,
64
depending on the individual system wiring setup and motor electrical efficiency. The maximum
voltage and amperage delivered were set to the motor specifications in order to avoid extreme
motor heat or damage. Note that the rpm increases slightly as the tunnel q increases for the constant
voltage delivered, although the effect was nominal for the non-dimensionalized propeller
performance parameters. The tunnel q step size was predetermined by Merchant; nonetheless,
supplementary data may comply to fill the voids in the performance curves. In those cases,
repeated runs were performed with a shift in the tunnel q set. For the static thrust measurements,
the initial tunnel dynamic pressure was set to 0 < q ≤ 0.1 psf, in order to create a gentle airflow so
The spinner and nacelle must be disassembled in order to obtain access to the hub and
propeller pitch angle setting. The spinner has two screw caps to maintain the designated curvature.
All exposed small gaps such as ones between the blade and spinner or nacelle screw holes were
covered with Scotch tape to avoid any flow disturbances. Scotch tape is a convenient and
inexpensive tool and found to be almost as effective as clay for small hole treatments in laminar
regions [56]. Model gaps must be re-taped prior to the next run. Meanwhile, an air tube was ducted
into the nacelle; this tube can inject compressed air towards the motor, in order for it to cool down
as the following test preparations are made. Note that the cooling system was shut off and did not
For pressure measurements in the 3×4 LSWT, a total of 62 nacelle pressure ports were
divided into four test runs for each pitch angle setting since the Scanivalve has only 16 channels.
The Scanivalve is located right outside and underneath the test section to increase the system
pressure scanner was enclosed inside the nacelle, thus allowing twice as much data acquired per
65
run. For test time constraints, only half of the nacelle pressure survey was performed. In both
tunnels, the reference pressure port was connected to the tunnel static ring to measure freestream
static pressure, p∞, and each channel to the local nacelle pressure ports, p, to obtain the differential
pressures. The final results are presented in the form of pressure coefficients. All wiring and tubing
were run internally through the C-mount to maintain the overall simplicity in geometry (see Figure
37).

System evaluations were performed prior to the model experimentation in order to quantify
and qualify the reliability of the data presented in the following chapter. It was critical to analyze
the total amount of experimental error in the system especially for this study. The aim of this
section is to identify all the known errors and reveal them to the readers. By using the 3D-scanning
method, the model fabrication quality was also demonstrated and compared to the design
geometry. Additionally, predictions for the designated propellers performance were made utilizing
measurements can also affect results, thus increasing the overall experimental error. Bias in the
66
facility or system measurement or test procedure can cause systematic or fixed error, which is
typically proportional to the true value and can be eliminated by identifying the accuracy of the
system. On the other hand, random error is usually unpredictable and depends on repeatability of
the system measurement. Typically, a large number of repeated tests may quantify random error,
providing a normal distribution and standard deviation. Table 1 provides a summary of the
accuracy and error that is known. The statistical measurements shown are the maximum value in
each data set. Therefore, typically the system is more accurate than listed here.
A commonsense analysis of the data suggests that error in the final results equal the
combined maximum error of all parameters in the most detrimental way [57]. Accuracy, standard
deviation, and thermal errors for thrust and torque measurements are based on observed readouts
or readings (RD). Other parameters refer to the model specifications from the manufacturer based

Note that the standard deviation of the 3×4 LSWT Scanivalve is high. This is due to the
rapid pressure fluctuations of the nacelle surface that is located behind the propeller caused by the
presence of the propeller wake. The 7×10 wind tunnel DAQ is not set to output standard deviation
Initial tests demonstrate the quality and repeatability of data obtained at the 3×4 LSWT to
assess the random error in the system. Tests were executed by different operators on separate days.
Figure 38 to Figure 40 show four test performances of the same off-the-shelf 12×12 APC Thin-
Electric propeller. The first number in the APC propeller specification indicates its diameter in
inches and the second number is its pitch in inches. The efficiency η, along with CT and CP, are
plotted against J at approximately 7,500 ~ 8,500 rpm, and each compares well, showing system
repeatability. The Reynolds number at 75% of the radius (Re0.75) is also plotted as a function of J
to show the test conditions of each run. By default, all data shown are corrected only for tunnel
blockage.

two facilities and partially different DAQ systems, as explained previously. Figure 42 compares
the 3×4 LSWT results with two other wind tunnel test data for a 10×7 APC thin-E propeller at

Research Center, which is digitized from the Ol et al. study [24], did not specify the rpm. Although
the results seem scattered, the authors state that no drastic variation resulted between 6,000 and
8,000 rpm. WSU’s data agrees with BART data and also data from the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), which are plotted in Figure 42 and Figure 43 for APCs 10×7, 8×8,

CHAPTER 5
RESULTS
Test results for the model propellers are presented in this chapter. The plotted results are
reduced data, which account for the blockage corrections and thermal-static tares, as discussed in
the previous chapter for tunnel comparisons. Load measurements, nacelle pressure distributions,
and a wake survey were performed on two propeller blades in two different wind tunnels.
Application of the dynamic tare (spinner drag effect) and nacelle-spinner effects on performance
will be discussed later in this chapter. Finally, the performance results are compared with the
predicted values.
This section shows traditional performance plots such as thrust and torque coefficients with
efficiency curves against a range of advance ratios. Two different propeller blades were examined
and results are separated into subsections. However, results for the two wind tunnels are compared
As discussed earlier, a PD1 propeller blade has a constant twist, p/D = 1, as well as constant
chord length and thickness throughout its six-inch radius. Hence, the design twist angle at 75%
radius, β0.75 is 23°. Additional tests were conducted at 28° and 33° pitch angles at approximately
5,000 rpm (i.e., 4,800 to 5,600 rpm), which is equivalent to Re0.75 = 90,000 to 120,000 for a range
of advance ratios. Thrust and power coefficients as well as efficiency results are shown for the 3×4
LSWT and 7×10 NIAR wind tunnels in Figure 44 to Figure 46. Figure 47 shows PD1 performance
at three different revolution speeds, i.e., 4,000, 5,000 and 6,000 rpms, in order to evaluate the
Reynolds number (Re0.75 = 75,000 ~ 130,000) dependency, where β0.75 = 23°. Runs were repeated
74
on two or three different days for both tunnels, with test apparatus disassembled and reassembled,
to check the system repeatability. For such a low Reynolds number range, data repeatability can
be confirmed for each tunnel. Thrust coefficients for higher pitch angles agree well for both wind
tunnels, that is, except for β0.75 = 23°, where the 7×10 NIAR results are about 4% on average higher
than 3×4 LSWT (Figure 44 to Figure 47). Also, power coefficients results in the 7×10 NIAR for
all pitch settings are 5 ~ 6% higher than the 3×4 LSWT on average. Several reasons may be causing
this outcome.
First, the total uncertainty of the system at its worst is estimated to be about 5%, which
includes the accuracy, thermal error, and other instrument and random errors. However, this is
unlikely the case, since COMP blade results shown in the next section are consistent for both
tunnels.
Next, and most likely, the tunnel systematic bias was caused by the difference in tunnel
flow characteristics at certain test conditions. As presented previously, the flow quality of the 7×10
NIAR tunnel is well known, reducing the tunnel turbulence intensity. On the other hand, the 3×4
LSWT is expected to have higher turbulence intensity than the 7×10 NIAR tunnel. Blade’s local
Reynolds number depends on the advance ratio and the section location and chord length,
nonetheless, the higher flow turbulence intensity increases the overall effective Reynolds number.
Higher turbulence intensity causes earlier transition by tripping the flow, and as a result, the
effective Reynolds number is higher than lower turbulence flow. Figure 48 shows E-387 airfoil
data among three different wind tunnels at two Reynolds numbers [47]. The airfoil aerodynamic
characteristics vary between tunnels at Re = 60,000 with a possible separation bubble at α ≈ 6° for
LTPT and Delft results. This demonstrates the effect of the tunnel flow characteristics on the
aerodynamics performance, especially at lower Reynolds numbers. Moreover, post stall behavior
75
varies at higher angles of attack for each tunnel (i.e., α ≥ 12°) which is also possibly caused by the
reason explained above. The vast majority of the blade section operates at Re ≤ 100,000 at lower
advance ratios as explained in previously. For example, Re0.45 ≈ 60,000 at J = 0.20, that is the local
Reynolds number at 45% of the blade radius. In addition, both JavaProp and vortex theory analysis
results indicated that blade section angles of attack were higher than 12° at lower advance ratios
(i.e., J ≤ 1.0) especially for r/R = 0.7 or less regions. This implies that separation or stall, at least
for a portion of the blade. Also shown in Figure 28 and Figure 29, vortex theory and JavaProp
predictions did not match well for the PD1 as opposed to the COMP results. The reason can be
explained by the post stall treatment, that is, the difference in the drag polar of the two methods
which may cause a similar outcome by operating at different effective Reynolds numbers produced
As will be discussed in the following sections, the wake survey results show a possible
flow separation region in the vicinity of the root for β0.75 = 23°. This region can be smaller or rather
different in the 3×4 LSWT based on the tunnel flow characteristics or at the higher Reynolds
numbers causing a change in performance curves. Higher pitch settings thrust coefficients are more
consistent between the two tunnels because the section angles of attack are dominantly at post
stall. Therefore, tunnel flow characteristics have minimal impact on the results. The gap between
the tunnels data diminishes at higher advance ratios also supports this argument, resulting lower
section angles of attack for the same pitch settings. Nonetheless, it is fair to say that the efficiency
curves are consistent for both tunnels. In contrast, propeller performances are consistent for the
COMP blade in both tunnels. This is caused by significantly lower pitch setting throughout the
blade sections and relatively low section angles of attack. The COMP results are shown in the
following section.

5.1.2 COMP Results of Propeller Performance
This propeller blade has a varying twist distribution and chord length as a function of radius
with a constant thickness ratio, which was specified previously. The design blade twist angle at
75% radius, β0.75 is 15°. The blade’s variable pitch was set at additional three different angles: 20°,
25°, and 30° at 0.75R. Figure 49 to Figure 52 show CT, CP, and η as a function of J at approximately
6,000 rpm (i.e., between 5,800 and 6,400 rpm), which is also equivalent to Re0.75 = 90,000 to
120,000. All tests are repeated at the two facilities on different days. Results shown in Figure 53
verify the Reynolds number (Re0.75 = 65,000 ~ 120,000) independency for β0.75 = 20° for a range
of advance ratio.
In contrast to the PD1 results, the COMP performance curves agree well for both wind
tunnels. This is an ideal outcome for validations purposes. In general, the COMP propeller
consumes significantly less power relative to the PD1. Also, a higher efficiency of 85% is obtained
for β0.75 = 25° and 30°. Note that a few percent shift in the power coefficient is detected between
the tunnel results for a blade pitch at β0.75 = 30°. It appears that a systematic gap between two
tunnels increases as the pitch angle increases. Consequently, the torque measured has increased,
as shown in Figure 52. Overall, the COMP performance curves are consistent and repeatable

5.2 Nacelle Pressure Distribution
This section presents the nacelle surface pressure distribution along the longitudinal axis
in non-dimensional forms, i.e., pressure coefficient cpr , and x/L. The origin of the coordinate
system is the nacelle upstream leading edge at x/L = 0, as shown in Figure 54. This coordinate
system is applied to all the following results. Longitudinal stations were divided into eight
segments with x/L = 0.118 increments, where x is the local distance from the nacelle upstream
leading edge, and L is the length of the nacelle. Both side walls of the 7×10 NIAR entire test
section pressure coefficients are also plotted against non-dimensional distance l’ from the entrance
of the test section showing the test section pressure gradient at different advance ratios. The
azimuth angle Φ represents the nacelle pressure port angle, where 12 o’clock is at Φ = 0°, and has
an increment of 45° in the clockwise direction about the longitudinal axis or the axis of rotation
when looking downstream. Note that both propellers also rotate clockwise when looking
downstream. All static pressure ports are perpendicular to the nacelle surface.
88
5.2.1 PD1 Results of Nacelle Pressure Distribution
Nacelle surface pressure coefficients are plotted against the longitudinal position for the
three pitch angles—23°, 28°, and 33°—for several advance ratios. Results of the 3×4 LSWT and
7×10 NIAR wind tunnels are shown in Figure 55 to Figure 65. 7×10 NIAR side wall pressure
gradients are also plotted for boundary condition applications. Pressure measurements in the 3×4
LSWT are limited to 16 channels at each run; hence, only two rows of azimuth angles are measured
at the same condition (e.g., Φ = 0° and 45°, etc.). On the other hand, 7×10 NIAR results are
obtained at a single test run but only for half of the nacelle at four azimuth angles—0°, 45°, 90°,
135°—except at β0.75 = 23° and 28°, with an additional 180° and 225°, as shown in Figure 56.
Only first and last plot’s legend are displayed for the same 7×10 NIAR runs to avoid redundancy.
Each pressure port was checked prior to the test, but a few did not work properly because of clogs,
tube disconnections, or leakages. These are omitted from the presented data.
The 3×4 LSWT nacelle setup has a two-inch gap in front of the C-mount. This nacelle
surface discontinuity creates flow separation on the lower half towards the end of the nacelle, as
shown for Φ = 135° and 225°. The last two measurements downstream at Φ = 180° are omitted
for the existence of the C-mount. However, this section was sealed with a part that replicated the
original surface curvature for the 7×10 NIAR runs, although no pressure ports were added.
Pressure distribution curves appear smooth in most cases, that is, at peaks behind the
propeller due to the induced pressure by the propeller and lowest at the nacelle maximum diameter,
and they tend to increase at the pressure recovery regions. Also the pressure coefficients seem to
be axis-symmetrical on both sides of the nacelle. The pressure distribution of the nacelle surface
without a propeller is shown in Figure 64 with the spinner rotating at the same 5,000 rpm in order
to study the spinner effect. Although the 3×4 and 7×10 results are not precisely comparable, since
89
the test conditions and tunnel cross section sizes are different, they show identical behavior.
However, the 7×10 NIAR results show less separated regions, mainly because of the C-mount
location. Wall pressure gradient slopes are mostly consistent despite of the advance ratio.

5.2.2 COMP Results of Nacelle Pressure Distribution
A similar method was used to measure the pressure distribution for the COMP blade at four
pitch angles of 15°, 20°, 25°, and 30° at 0.75R. The results are presented in Figure 66 to Figure 79.
The pressure distribution for this propeller somewhat differs from the PD1 results, mostly at the
vicinity of the maximum nacelle diameter at lower pitch angles in the 3×4 LSWT. It appears the
minimum pressure coefficients are not sensitive to the advance ratios at lower pitch angle settings
for the 3×4 LSWT results. The pressure gradient of the 7×10 NIAR test section side walls are also
plotted for boundary condition references. The pressure distribution of the nacelle surface and wall

5.3 Wake Survey
A five-hole probe traverse system, as described in the Chapter 4, was utilized to perform
the propeller wake survey in the 7×10 NIAR wind tunnel. Slipstream velocities of both propellers
were examined at a certain test condition for each propeller at three azimuth angles of 0°, 90°, and
270° and three nacelle longitudinal locations of x/L = 0.02, 0.49, and 0.843. The PD1 blade pitch
angle was set at β0.75 = 23° and the freestream velocity at 67 ft/s and 5,000 rpm, i.e., an advance
ratio of 0.804. Results are shown in Figure 80 to Figure 88. Swirl angle plots for PD1 at three
different nacelle longitudinal locations and three azimuth angles are shown in Figure 89. The
COMP pitch angle was set to β0.75 = 20°, U = 67 ft/s, and 6,000 rpm, i.e., J = 0.670. Results for the
COMP are shown in Figure 90 to Figure 98. Slipstream velocities were obtained on x-y-z
components of the tunnel Cartesian coordinate system and transferred into the polar coordinate
system, as shown previously in Figure 54. Results are plotted in non-dimensional form by dividing
the velocity components into the freestream velocity magnitude. Also, projections of the two
velocity vectors are plotted; one being the superimposed axial and radial components and the other
being the tangential and radial velocity components. The PD1 first run was repeated to assess
system repeatability. Swirl angles plots for the COMP at three different nacelle longitudinal
Vortex theory analysis results show that blade elements from the root to 0.7R are at high
angles of attack for the PD1 propeller for the same test condition. Axial velocity component results
show a drop in magnitude immediately behind the propeller that may suggest a partial stall in this
region. The velocity magnitude gradually transfers into a uniform distribution at the end of the
nacelle. The maximum axial velocity component of 1.3 times larger than the freestream velocity
was detected at the nacelle mid-section. The COMP was at lower angles of attack for the entire
119
blade sections, according to results of the vortex theory analysis. A relatively uniform velocity for
this blade was measured with the maximum axial velocity component a little less than 1.3 times
larger than the freestream. Different azimuth angle results show, on average, a symmetrical flow

Effects of the nacelle and spinner on the propeller performance are studied in this section.
Thrust and power coefficients plus efficiency curves, configurations with and without nacelle-
spinner are compared for different pitch angles on PD1 propeller at the 3×4 LSWT in Figure 100
to Figure 102. Similar comparisons are made for PD1 propeller results obtained at the 7×10 NIAR
wind tunnel in Figure 103 to Figure 105. This study shows that propeller performance drops
significantly at higher advance ratios due to drag from the hub and other exposed parts. The
maximum efficiency decreases 10 ~ 15% on average for all pitch angle settings. Likewise, the
COMP propeller data are compared in Figure 106 to Figure 109 for the 7×10 NIAR tunnel only,
since the data was similar for both tunnels. No-spinner no-nacelle configurations are presented as

5.5 Dynamic Tare
While the propeller generates thrust, the presence of the spinner by itself causes drag,
which is also measured by the load cell. These two forces act against each other, unless the spinner
is designed to have a positive effect on the propeller performance. Here, to separate the propeller
thrust value, the individual spinner/hub drag was measured and added to the thrust value acquired
with the combination of the propeller and with/without nacelle as the dynamic tare. Results for the
dynamic tare are shown in Figure 110 for configurations with spinner and nacelle in both tunnels
at 5,000 and 6,000 rpms. Similar tare results are presented in Figure 111 for no-spinner no-nacelle
configurations. The data is shown as drag coefficient against advance ratio, based on propeller
diameter and revolution speed, as well as drag versus tunnel dynamic pressure. Finally, the trends
are estimated and given in equations that can be interpolated to the corresponding test condition.
Results show slightly different drag between the two tunnels, which may explain the thrust and
power coefficient discrepancies, especially in the PD1 performance plots shown previously in
Figure 44. Note that dynamic tare for torque caused by spinner and motor shaft power is not
presented, since it is less than 1% of the readings and therefore considered negligible. Figure 112
to Figure 114 show PD1 results in which the dynamic tare is applied to the thrust measurement
and as a result to the efficiency curves for the 3×4 LSWT. The same method is used for the two
configurations, with and without the spinner-nacelle. Interestingly, results for both configurations
are identical to each other, which may refer to actual propeller performance. In another words, the
results exclude the effect of spinner/hub and nacelle. The same comparisons are made for COMP
results, as shown in Figure 115 to Figure 118. Unlike the PD1 results, it seems that the presence
of the spinner-nacelle has positive effect on the COMP thrust and as a result on the efficiency. In
137
addition, vortex theory analysis results are added and compared, showing a reasonable match with
efficiency curves, and thrust and power coefficients when the propeller is lightly loaded.

CHAPTER 6
CONCLUSIONS
This study provides details of propeller and all other geometric descriptions, corresponding
experimental data and boundary conditions that are necessary for the validation of small propeller
analysis. Errors and uncertainties in instrumentation and model fabrications have been identified
and introduced. Traditional test results, such as thrust and power coefficients along with efficiency
curves as a function of advance ratio for two different propellers, at different pitch angles are
presented. Two separate wind tunnel results were compared in order to study any bias in facility
or individual data acquisition system. Sensitivity study of the performance to a range of rpm at
certain pitch settings for both propellers was presented. Nacelle surface pressures at eight azimuth
angles and eight axial locations were measured. A propeller wake survey at a certain test conditions
for both propellers were conducted at three different azimuth angles and three axial locations. The
nacelle-spinner effect was also demonstrated. Finally, spinner/hub drag effect was excluded from
the data by applying the dynamic tare, to measure the propeller isolated performance, and plotted
Comparison results between the two tunnels showed about 5% discrepancy in PD1 data
with higher thrust and power coefficients at the 7×10 NIAR. Overall, data for the COMP matched
well for both tunnels. Overall nacelle surface pressure distribution was consistent and coherent
between tunnels. Wake survey results for PD1 at the vicinity of the propeller indicated a possible
flow separation at the root to mid-section of the blade. The propeller with both spinner and nacelle
performed 10 ~ 15% better than without covering configurations, mainly because of the hub drag.
Finally, dynamic tared results are compared to show the propeller performance excluding the
spinner/hub and nacelle effect. These results matched well and also with the vortex theory analysis
144
for the PD1 propeller. However, dynamic tared results for the COMP had better efficiency when
with spinner-nacelle configurations than no-spinner no-nacelle ones. Possibly, the spinner and the
nacelle had positive interactions on the COMP propeller performance. Remarkably, vortex theory
results agreed especially well for efficiency curves with no-spinner no-nacelle dynamic tared
Propeller profile coordinates along with blade, spinner, and nacelle geometry information
are available in Appendix A. Complete data tables of the 7×10 NIAR results are also presented
scott.miller@wichita.edu.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Additional tests would be advantageous for a sweep of yaw and nose pitch or system angles
of attack. However, system structural and aeroelastic analyses need to be performed to assure the
safety of the test. Also, flow visualization would be a plus but not necessary for validation
purposes. Although particle image velocimetry can be a great addition to the database, extensive
time and tunnel capabilities are required which was not the priority of this project.

APPENDIX B
This appendix contains numerical data obtained at the 7x10 NIAR wind tunnel which
includes boundary conditions, propeller performance results, pressure coefficients and wall
pressure gradients. Tunnel total and static pressure readings presented here are the differential to
the tunnel absolute barometric pressure gauge. Corrected tunnel dynamic pressure, qcor, was
implemented to obtain the propeller performance coefficients. Tared dynamic pressure, qtare, was
used for nacelle pressure coefficients and wall pressure gradients. Additional nomenclature and
subscriptions are:
Pt Total pressure
Ps Static pressure
cor Corrected tunnel values for both the C-mount and propeller tunnel blockage
