Simulation conducted using the free wake method implemented in the Wake Induced Dynamics Simulator (WInDS), written by Thomas Sebastian of the University of Massachusetts (more information at http://tommysebastian.com).
@nosojdjos The blades are flat and modeled using unsteady lifting line theory.... an additional layer of abstraction from a full panel code, but also a bit faster. Also easier to use airfoil data tables, though that includes its own set of challenges (2d versus 3d effects, spanwise flow, etc.).

Are the blades completely flat or they have a cross section profile ?
