Design and analysis of propeller blade geometry using the PDE method [PDF]
This thesis aims to incorporate geometric and functional design of surfaces using a method known as the PDE method. In particular, it will be demonstrated how the PDE method can be extended to represent an existing marine propeller geometry ...

Numerical study of the unsteady aerodynamics of helicopter rotor aerofoils
A two-dimensional model of the aerodynamics of rotor blades in forward flight is proposed in which the motion of the blade is represented by periodical variations of the freestrearn velocity and incidence. A novel implicit methodology for the solution

Unsteady Lifting Surface Theory for a Rotating Transonic Cascade of Swept Blades [PDF]
A lifting surface theory is developed to predict the unsteady three-dimensional aerodynamic characteristics for a rotating transonic annular cascade of swept blades. An improved method is used to solve the integral equation for the unsteady blade loading.

Theory and computations for breakup of unsteady subsonic or supersonic separating flows [PDF]
This study of flow just beyond a breakaway-separation point presents a description of planar nonlinear unsteady effects over a fairly wide parameter range, for a subsonic or supersonic boundary layer at large Reynolds numbers.

Unsteady Lifting Surface Theory for Supersonic Through-Flow Fan
The purpose of the present study is to predict analytically the unsteady loading on vibrating blades of a supersonic through-flow fan and investigate the aerodynamic instability. It is assumed that each blade operates with zero steady loading, and vibrates with small displacement amplitude, and a linearized unsteady lifting surface theory for a ...

An Unsteady Lifting Surface Theory for Ducted Fan Blades [PDF]
A frequency domain lifting surface theory is developed to predict the unsteady aerodynamic pressure loads on oscillating blades of a ducted subsonic fan. The steady baseline flow as observed in the rotating frame of reference is the helical flow dictated by the forward flight speed and the rotational speed of the fan.

The onset of instability in unsteady boundary-layer separation [PDF]
The process of unsteady two-dimensional boundary-layer separation at high Reynolds number is considered. Solutions of the unsteady non-interactive boundary-layer equations are known to develop a generic separation singularity in regions where the ...

Unsteady effects during resistance tests on a ship model in a towing tank [PDF]
It is known that there are oscillations in the wave resistance during the constantvelocity phase of a towing-tank resistance test on a ship model. In this work, the unsteady thin-ship resistance theory has been applied to this case. The results have been
