I would like to replicate some of the results of an experiment on a channel wing by NACA, see here: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19930087470/downloads/19930087470.pdf

I think a good first approximation is modeling the propeller as an actuator disk.

Maybe a point to start this is by modeling the classic actuator disk theory and see how flow is actually contracting.
