Application of the Vortex Distribution Technique to Three-Dimensional Bodies Moving through an Incompressible Fluid,

Abstract

The report presents results of a study to develop a method for evaluating the forces on three-dimensional shapes in steady subsonic flow. The technique is developed by formulating a mathematical model which approximates the various aspects of the physical features of the flow. The mathematical model is constructed around the use of vortex elements which simulate the effects of the body and satisfy the governing equation. (Author)
