Abstract

Four different methods for the generation of input data for propeller models (Actuator Disk, Actuator Line) in CFD simulations are described and their results are compared with an unsteady fully resolved simulation of the propeller geometry. It is shown that the neglect of the rotation effects with a 2d method overestimates the propeller thrust and the axial velocity in the wake. If the rotation effects are instead considered with a 3d or a new 2.5d approach or via a recovery from the slipstream data, there is better agreement regarding thrust and slipstream velocities. Thereby, the 2.5d method shows a good compromise between computational effort and the quality of the results.
