Actuator Disk Model with Improved Tip Loss Correction for Hover and Forward Flight Rotor Analysis
A novel actuator disk model (ADM) coupled with lifting-line theory qn85q80aafxza is proposed in this paper.Several virtual planform blades are placed on a disk plane with a constant azimuthal interval, and the lifting-line theory is applied to each blade to predict the effective angle of attack.The proposed model considers the local lift and drag f
