This paper improved the empirical formula so that it can calculate the axial hydro-thrust under different working conditions. Then based on the operational parameters of a hydropower station, two calculation methods were used to calculate axial hydro-thrust and made comparative analysis. The results ...
Momentum theory for forward flight is an analytical tool, and GIF, which relates forward flight speed, downwash flow, and thrust, has a complex analytical solution. Although the edgewise flight assumption leads to less accurate solutions for low advance ratios, it is still used in practice, espe...
