PropGen is a *FREE* CFD/CAD program for for the design and analysis of power-turbines and propellers in an arbitrary fluid or gas.
Given a set of user specified operating points and geometric constraints, PropGen will derive optimised planforms for aircraft propellers, wind turbines, marine propellers, and tidal power turbines - these devices are all governed by the same physics. PropGen can also be used for analysis of existing designs.
The program derives induced velocities via a relaxed trailing vortex method with with heuristic rules to account for the effects of wake dissipation. Layered on top of these computations are intelligence to: derive optimised designs, determine the setting needed to achieve specific power or thrust, and much more.
