State-of-the-Art in Unsteady Aerodynamics,
Abstract
The accurate prediction of unsteady air loads is essential to avoiding problems and assuring safety in many interdisciplinary regions involving aeroelasticity and the dynamics of active controls. However, the methods to predict such airloads are complex and intricate. It was considered essential to specify standard configurations and parameters, and to encourage pioneering NATO scientists to report their results early. This would provide bases for evaluation and improvement of later and following developments by other countries. New developments are rapidly emerging in unsteady aerodynamics. The aeroelastician will continue heavy reliance on prediction of airloads from theoretical methods. A terse description of the new state of the art is provided in this report.
