A New Finite Element Supersonic Kernel Function Method in Lifting Surface Theory. Volume 2. User's Manual

Abstract

A new computational method based on the finite element approximation is applied to the kernel function formulation of the supersonic planar lifting surface theory. A computer program developed for the new method is described. The program is applicable to any general planform undergoing harmonic oscillation in a supersonic flow. The input data are the Mach number, reduced frequency and mesh information. The output consists of the lift distributions and a table of the generalized force coefficients.
