Summary

The compressible flow past an oscillating two-dimensional aerofoil in a wind tunnel with porous walls is considered, using linearised theory. The porous wall is assumed to have the property that the ratio of the normal velocity at the wall to the pressure drop across the wall is constant. Transform theory is used to find the supersonic longitudinal stability derivatives, and an extension of Possio's integral equation for the quasi-stationary case in subsonic flow.
