Stream thrust averaging

ID: stream-thrust-averaging

Stream thrust averaging is a method used in fluid dynamics and aerodynamics to analyze and predict the performance of airfoils, wings, or propellers by averaging the thrust output over a certain stream-wise length or area. This technique is particularly useful in assessing the overall efficiency and behavior of a propulsion system, such as jet engines or helicopters, as it helps to understand how thrust is distributed and how it varies with different operating conditions.
