Abstract

This paper discusses different approaches toward calculating the effect of a blade moving in a liquid. It demonstrates that a recently-developed approach has the potential to produce more reliable results, than either Euler’s equation or the aerofoil theory.

This conclusion is supported by results of actual tests.
