Prandtl Tip Loss Factor
#1 · 31. March 2023, 10:54
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
