The compressible subsonic flow about an oscillating two-dimensional aerofoil in a wind tunnel with porous walls is considered. The porous wall is assumed to exhibit the property that the ratio of the normal velocity at the wall to the pressure drop across the wall is constant. The aerodynamic derivatives are found for quasi-steady pitching motion of the aerofoil. The dependence of the derivatives on Mach number and wall porosity is displayed graphically.
