An approximate solution for two-dimensional transonic flow past thin airfoils
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Abstract
The transonic, two-dimensional flow past a thin airfoil is treated by approximating the transonic small perturbation equation by a linear equation valid in the neighbourhood of the airfoil. The solution is derived by representing the body by a line of suitable sources. Pressure distributions are given for airfoils with maximum thickness both forward and aft, and agreement with experiment improves as the position of maximum thickness moves aft.
