An Alternative Approach to the High Aspect Ratio Wing With Jet Flap by Matched Asymptotic Expansions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 June 2016
Summary
An alternative method is described for solving the problem of a three-dimensional jet-flapped wing with a high aspect-ratio. This method is similar to the lifting-line theory of Kerney6 or Tokuda7, but differs in that the method of matched asymptotic expansions is applied to an integral equation, derived from the lifting surface theory, rather than a partial differential equation. The advantage of the present method over those used previously is that the necessary outer solutions are obtained directly; it is not necessary to rely upon physical insight or considerable ingenuity. The final results are different from those obtained by the previous authors; it is shown that the present result is correct, by noting some errors in the earlier theories.
