Description:
A numerical method has been developed for the calculation of the pressure distribution, forces and moments on a two-dimensional aerofoil undergoing an arbitrary unsteady motion in an inviscid incompressible flow. In a discussion of the appropriate Kutta condition(s) it is argued that two Kutta conditions are required to obtain a satisfactory solution. The method is applied to (i) a sudden change in aerofoil incidence, (ii) an aerofoil oscillating at high frequency and (iii) an aerofoil passing through a sharp-edged gust. © 1978, Cambridge University Press.
