I am trying to modeling a marine propeller in caeses, in the process, i am very confused by the meaning( chord,thickness,camber,skew and rake ) of propeller in caeses；
According to my understanding
1 chord is a dimensionless parameter that can be defined as chord length/radius?
2 thickness,camber can be regarded as maxthickness/chordlength and camber/chordlength?
3 But what is the defination of skew and rake, skew/radius or skew/chordlength???
what is the meaning of chord,thickness,camber,skew and rake in propeller modeling?
