A study is made of the aerodynamic damping in a cascade of oscillating aerofoils in subsonic compressible flow with the system mode described by a constant interblade phasing predicted by Lane (9). The integral downwash equation is obtained as an extension of Possio's equation for an isolated aerofoil. Procedures for a practical solution of the equation have allowed the aerodynamic reactions and damping derivatives to be evaluated with a digital computer after minimisation of the critical flutter velocity with respect to interbiade phase angle. The effect of aerodynamic lag in separation conditions as a function of reduced frequency and chordwise location is compared with results without separation.
