Prandtl Tip Loss Factor

Hello, Dr. David, I would like to ask if the Prandtl Tip Loss Factor has taken into account the Glauert correction for the QBlade software when the axial induction factor a is greater than 0.2, as shown in the picture.

Hi Sun,

we use a slightly diffeerent formulation in our BEM implementation. The Glauert correction is active based on a check of the thrust, also our correction looks slightly different. Check out the source code, where the BEM is located in the function:

QTurbineSimulationData::steadyStateBEMIteration()

in the file:

QTurbineSimulationData.cpp

BR,

David

Thank you, Professor David.
