Blade Element Theory

Blade Element Theory is a hydrodynamic analysis method that belongs to the class of aerodynamic and propulsive performance prediction models, distinguished by its approach of dividing a propeller blade into discrete radial elements to independently compute lift and drag forces based on local flow conditions and blade geometry.
