THE FIELD OF A UNIFORM CIRCULAR SOURCE DISK

The flow field of a ducted propeller can be calculated by means of flow singularities. An important part of the method is a sink disk which simulates an infinitely bladed propeller in a steady inviscid incompressible flow. The field around a circular disk uniformly covered with a surface source distribution is tabulated to four decimal accuracy.
