Abstract: | The various approximate approaches to the investigation of the unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of an airfoil with jet flap 1–3] are applicable only for an airfoil, low jet intensity, and low oscillation frequencies. In the present paper, the method of discrete vortices 4] is generalized to the case of unsteady flow past a wing with jets and arbitrary shape in plan. The problem is solved in the linear formulation; the conditions used are standard: no flow through the wing and jet, finite velocities at the trailing edges where there is no jet, and also a dynamical condition on the jet. The wing and jet are assumed to be thin and the medium inviscid and incompressible.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 139–144, May–June, 1982. |
