Propeller Wake Theory
Yes, half of the velocity change occurs ahead of the propeller, this is correct. My free stream velocity far ahead of the propeller is, however, zero. This means that the wake velocity will be twice the propeller velocity. Perhaps this is where the difference lies. My propeller is tested at...- Aimes

Propeller Wake Theory
I was wondering if anyone out there had any practical experience with propeller or fan testing. My question is regarding the momentum theory of wakes. Using this theory it can be found that the air velocity in the wake region is double that at the propeller. Unfortunately, the tests that I am...- Aimes
