PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE THEORETICAL TREATMENT OF THE TWO-DIMENSIONAL GROUND EFFECT MACHINE IN FORWARD MOTION

Abstract

An idealized model of a two dimensional ground effect machine in forward motion is treated theoretically. Ideal potential flow is assumed and the Schwartz-Christoffel transformation is used to obtain the flow equations. A symmetrical model about the mid-point is assumed with jets tilted inward.
