In this article, an actuator disk model for simulating propeller is presented by coupling the momentum and the blade element theories. The pressure jump across the disk is computed by integrating the blade aerodynamic characteristics of specific geometric topology, three-dimensional induced velocities and tip-loss correction. Validations have been performed to assess the simulated ability of the developed actuator disk model. The computational results show a good agreement of the experimental data in terms of thrust and torque coefficients. Moreover, the flow visualization indicated a considerable accuracy by comparing with full modelling computation. The actuator disk model can be therefore be regarded as a reliable model for predicting propeller flow.
