SummaryThe solution to the problem of the loading generated on a two-dimensional thin aerofoil by an incompressible flow whose normal velocity component is of the general form exp [i(λx+/μy — ωt)] is calculated. The method used extends the two-dimensional integral equation solution for the induced vorticity by means of a Chebyshev expansion of part of the kernel function. Thin aerofoil approximations are made throughout, but no collocation procedure, as such, is required.

SummaryA closed-form expression is derived which gives an approximate solution to the lift generated on a two-dimensional thin aerofoil in incompressible flow with a normal velocity component of the form exp [i(ωt–xx+yy)]. The inaccuracy of the solution when compared with other published work is compensated by the simplicity of the final expression, particularly if the result is required for the calculation of the sound power radiated by an aerofoil in a turbulent flow.

A general formulation is given for the first time to the title problem. The method is based on the new results in potential theory obtained by the author earlier. The problem is reduced to a two-dimensional integral equation with an elementary kernel. Several specific examples are considered.

A lifting-surface analysis is presented for the steady, three-dimensional, compressible flow through an annular blade row. A kernel-function procedure is used to solve the linearized integral equation which relates the unknown blade loading to a specified camber line. The unknown loading is expanded in a finite series of prescribed loading functions which allows the required integrations to be performed analytically, leading to a great savings in computer time. Numerical results are reported for a range of solidities and hub-to-tip ratios; comparisons are made with both two-dimensional strip theory and other three-dimensional results.

In this paper the two-dimensional reflection of surface waves from a vertical barrier in deep water is studied theoretically.It can be shown that when the normal velocity is prescribed at each point of an infinite vertical plane extending from the surface, the motion on each side of the plane is completely determined, apart from a motion consisting of simple standing waves. In the cases considered here the normal velocity is prescribed on a part of the vertical plane and is taken to be unknown elsewhere. From the condition of continuity of the motion above and below the barrier an integral equation for the normal velocity can be derived, which is of a simple type, in the case of deep water. We begin by considering in detail the reflection from a fixed vertical barrier extending from depth a to some point above the mean surface.
