4.1 Classification of calculation methods
The different methods are compared in the table 1 .
Depending on the type of result required (which depends on the level of progress of an industrial propeller development project), several calculation methods will be used in succession:
In the early stages of the project, simple, rapid methods are used to determine the propeller's overall performance and to select its geometry (singularity method);
in the advanced design phase, more complex methods are used to characterize in...
