The effect of excluding the nacelle in tip-mounted propeller research can be modelled with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to quantify this effect on the wing performance and flow measurements. For this, the performance parameters of the wing in terms of lift and drag are analysed. Also, swirl angle and total pressure in the wake is investigated to understand the vortex behaviour. This is all done for a configuration set without a propeller, and also with a propeller installed in the form of a disk model.
