Steady aerodynamics this term is used to describe situations where there is no rapid change in properties over time. For example, an aircraft cruising straight and level in the upper atmosphere, well above where any gust can reach it. When such situations are being analyzed, a lot of effort can be saved by neglecting terms in the equations, which describe rates of change of the flow properties or forces at any point on the aircraft.

Time-accurate strong-interaction models for the coupling of a boundary-layer method with a method for three-dimensional, unsteady, compressible potential flow about elastically deforming wings are developed. The investigation of the flow behind on oscillating airfoil has shown that two waves of convected vortices can be distinguished: One wave convected at, roughly, the outside uniform velocity; and an inner wave in the core of the wake originating at the trailing edge which is convected at a much lower speed. At a certain distance behind the airfoil ther

The classical propeller theory of Theodorsen provides a rational estimate of the highest attainable efficiency. However, it yields a too high static pressure in the slipstream. A modification, incorporating rolling-up vortex sheets in the slipstream, proves to be a good remedy for this deficiency. The entire theory is affected by the modification, leading to simpler expressions for thrust, power and efficiency.

As an alternative to the theory of vortex sound the generation of sound has been formulated as a potential-flow problem, in which a convected wave equation is solved for the velocity potential. This formulation is applied to the sound generated by a dipole moving across the edge of a half-plane, which is generic for the problem of the sound generated by a turbulent eddy crossing the trailing edge of a wing. The elementary problem of the diffraction of a spherical sound pulse on a halfplane can be solved by a method using Fourier transforms. The generalization of the 3 dimensional Lap lace solutions to a pulse solution of the wave equation is straightforward. The solution for the diffracted field inside the spindle front around the edge is analyzed. It is shown that in this region the 3 dimensional character of the solut
