The stresses resulting from wind gusts can exceed the limit value and may cause large-scale structural deformation or even failure. All certified airplanes should therefore withstand the increased loads from gusts of considerable intensity. A large f...
An unsteady formulation of the Kutta–Joukowski theorem has been used with a higher-order potential flow method for the prediction of three-dimensional unsteady lift. This study describes the implementation and verification of the approach in de...
Enhanced approximate expressions for the incipient indicial lift of thin wings in subsonic potential flow are presented in this study, featuring explicit analytical corrections for the unsteady downwash. Lifting-line and acoustic-wave theories form t...
