Trial and error until we got an equation that pretty much tells us exactly what will happen for given variables.

Physics simulations where a computer helps just try out different propeller designs to see how well it works has been helping introduce all kinds of super exotic designs in the last few years cause yeah as someone who did physics; "it's all just agreed upon expected outcome from trying it."

We know Jack shit.
