Description:
A quadrilateral vortex-lattice method is briefly described for calculating the potential flow aerodynamic characteristics of high-lift configurations. It incorporates an iterative scheme for calculating the deformation of forcefree wakes, including wakes from side edges. The method is applicable to multiple lifting surfaces with part-span flaps deflected, and can include ground effect and wind-tunnel interference. Numerical results, presented for a number of high-lift configurations, demonstrate rapid convergence of the iterative technique. The results are in good agreement with available experimental data.
