This paper employs an unsteady actuator blade method(ABM) embedded in CFL3D code. ABM makes that complicated grid generation techniques are no longer required to describe the real propeller blade. It is worth well to evaluate the detailed differences of slip stream simulated by full blade method and ABM approach, especially the vortex concentration and fluctuation features.
