When full scale propeller is tested in wind tunnel whose cross section is about same size as propeller disk, it is necessary, in addition to blockage correction, to apply wall tip correction; effect of walls is to increase thrust, and to decrease propulsive efficiency; corrections obtained quantitatively in approximate manner for incompressible flow.
