On the use of "panel methods" for predicting subsonic flow abour aerofoils and aircraft configurations

With the availability of large capacity computers there is a tendency for potential flow calculations to play a more important role in the process of aircraft development. The possibility for accurate prediction of aerodynamic characteristics had been widely increased by the development of socalled "panel methods". These are based on the...

Development of a method for predicting wing pressure distributions in subsonic flow: report on an intermediate solution

A method is described for predicting pressure distributions on wings in subcriticial attached flow. The method comprises the following basic elements. - linearized lifting surface theory the surface source panel method of Hess and Smith - approximate, uniformly valid, second-order corrections to be applied to the results of lifting surface...

An approximate method for the calculation of the pressure distribution on wing-body combinations at subcritical speeds

Paper presented at the AGARD Specialist Meeting "Aerodynamic Interference", Silver Spring, Maryland , 28 - 30 September 1970

An approximate method for the determination of the pressure distribution on wings in the lower critical speed range

Tho design of aircraft for efficient flight at high subsonic speeds demands for methods by which the pressure distributions on wings can be predicted accurately. The present paper is concerned with an approximating method that is based on the fact that the main characteristics of subsonic flow about wings are described rather well by the...

De berekening van drukverdelingen over de neuzen van F 28 vleugels, ten behoeve van de bepaling van de drukweeratand uit gemeten drukverdelingen.

Aan laodellen van de Fokker F 28 zijn drukmetingen uitgevoerd ten behoeve van de bepaling van de verdeling van draagkracht en torsiemoment over de vleugel. Later is nagegaan of deze drukmetingen tevens zijn te gebruiken voor de bepaling van de verdeling van de weerstand. Hierbij is gebleken dat er een te gering aantal drukken op het voorste deel...
