Hi, We know that the front propeller will increase the income air speed around the wing thus the lift and drag of it.

I’m looking for reference to indicate a way to estimate quantitatively how large the influence is. In this way, I can estimate the drag and lift of my aircraft more exactly by adding the propeller’s influence.

Could anyone tell me or let me know is there any paper or reference on that?
If there's any paper gives research results on a certain case, that would be also preferred as it will give more or less indications to me.
