Summary

A simple potential theory for flow through cascades of low solidity is developed. The analysis is an extension of Glauert’s theory for single aerofoils. The variation of outlet angle and lift coefficient with space/chord ratio and stagger angle is predicted. The simple analysis is shown, by comparison with other methods of computation, to be valid for cascades of space/chord ratio in excess of 1·5 and staggers over 50 degrees.
