(a) Instantaneous torque per blade (generated by a single isolated blade) when a different number of isolated blades are present in the simulation. (b) Instantaneous torque per set of arms (generated by a single isolated set of arms) when a different number of isolated set of arms are present in the simulation. (c) Instantaneous torque per element (generated by a single full element) when a different number of full elements are present in the simulation.
