Blade Reynolds number was above table limit #33
Comments
Do your airfoil tables contain data for multiple Reynolds numbers, or just one? It looks like this error will be written if there is only one Reynolds number for any given airfoil. |
The only foil with only one Reynolds is the circular profile at the root. Perhaps it was just that one. Is there no way to tell which blade section it was?

I've gotten this warning at the end of simulations a few times:
AT LEAST ONE BLADE REYNOLDS NUMBER WAS ABOVE TABLE LIMIT. UPPER LIMIT USED.
I'm surprised to see it, though. In deciding what Reynolds numbers to use to calculate polars, I calculated all possible Reynolds numbers using the chord distribution and tip speed ratio to get the relative velocities, and then the freestream velocity to get the resultant at each span location. The highest Reynolds number that I used for my polars is about twice the highest Reynolds number I calculated. Could you verify how the Reynolds number is being determined in the simulation and, perhaps, explain how it could be so much higher than my estimates?The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
