Popis: Two Euler analysis techniques, finite difference and finite volume, are employed to predict the blade surface pressure distributions of a large scale advanced propeller. The predicted pressure distributions are compared with wind tunnel data. Both techniques produced blade pressure distributions which are in fairly good agreement with the data over the range of test Mach numbers of 0.2 to 0.78. However, the numerical simulations fail to predict correctly the measured pressure distributions for the low Mach number, high power case which seem to have a leading edge vortex. A discussion of the compressibility effects is also presented.
