The blade element momentum (BEM) theory introduced by Lock et al. and formulated in its modern form by Glauert provides a framework to model the aerodynamic interaction between a turbine and a fluid flow. This theory is used either to estimate turbine efficiency or as a design aid. However, a lack of mathematical interpretation limits the understanding of some of its issues. The aim of this paper is to propose an analysis of BEM equations. Our approach is based on a reformulation of Glauert's model which enables us to identify criteria to guarantee the existence of solutions, analyze the convergence of usual and new (and more efficient) solution algorithms, and study turbine design procedures. The mathematical analysis is completed by numerical experiments.

  1. System Identification of Thrust and Torque Characteristics for a Bipedal Robot with Integrated Propulsion

    cs.RO 2025-04 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    The paper fits a thrust equation with two empirical constants and measures the KV380 motor torque constant as 0.0311 Nm/A, but the thrust validation depends on fitted parameters and a coarse 200-node CFD.
