Summary

A method is described for calculating numerically the aerodynamic stiffness and damping coefficients and loading distributions for a two-dimensional thin aerofoil oscillating harmonically in subsonic flow, from the Possio Integral Equation by approximating the loading by a finite series of basis functions. Sample loading distributions obtained by using the method are presented for a Mach number of 0.9 and a frequency parameter of 0.4.
