  I need to find the thrust generated by the propeller of the drone so I did the analysis on ansys by generating rotary domain and static domain. But I am unable to read the result i.e when I click reports >> forces >> propeller >> print , It generates some of the values under the heading pressure,viscous and total .So out of the given values which is my thrust value and in what unit . I herewith attach my model and result for your ready reference. Please help me out.
  if possible please share the valid proof because after this analysis I have to fabricate it also.

  Hi,
  Total represents the thrust force. Unit here is Newton.
  I suggest you to please refer to the article with title "Estimation of the thrust coefficient of a Quadcopter
  Propeller using Computational Fluid Dynamics" for more understanding.
  Thank you

  Hello there, I hope you have resolved the issue.
  I am running a simulation of dji phantom 3 propeller(diameter=9.45in and pitch 5 for different rpms). At 2000rpm, thrust i should get according to the research paper is 0.46N but am getting very low value i.e 0.18N. So, what should be changed in the setup in order to increase the thrust value.I need this for validation. If anyone could help, it would really great.
  And also, can anyone find me the coordinate points of the same propeller to design and build a geometry. I couldn't find it. Please Please
  
  thanks
