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 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 mod...
