Extract

The theory of non-stationary motion around aerofoils has many important applications in the field of aeronautics and turbomachines. The most significant problems are flutter, fluctuating loads experienced by blades of a typical turbomachine which move through a non-uniform field of flow, disturbed by the induced effects of other stationary and moving blade rows. It is important to predict the fluctuating lift force on a blade or aerofoil due to a flow disturbance, because both the blade vibration and noise generation are related to fluctuating lift and moment.
