Geometry requirements for unsteady aerodynamics in aeroelastic analysis and design

Abstract

Aircraft geometry requirements for unsteady aerodynamic computations are discussed and differences between requirements for steady and unsteady flow are emphasized within the framework of a general potential-flow aerodynamic formulation. Its implementation in a computer program called SOUSSA (Steady, Oscillatory, and Unsteady Subsonic and Supersonic Aerodynamic is detailed
