Review text

Within the scope of a three-dimensional linear theory, the authors analyse a mixed screen boundary value problem for the Helmholtz equation \((\triangle + k^2)\Phi = 0\), where \(\Phi\) is a perturbation velocity potential generated by an oscillating wing. Not all Cauchy data for \(\Phi\) are given explicitly on two sides of the screen. The missing Cauchy data depend on the wing circulation \(\Gamma\) and must be evaluated by the Kutta condition: \(\nabla\Phi\) is finite near the trailing edge \(x_t\) of the wing. Using the boundary integral method, this mixed screen boundary value problem is transformed into the hypersingular boundary integral equation \(D_L\widetilde\Psi =h(\Gamma),\) where \(D_L\) denotes the normal derivative of the double layer potential with respect to the projection \(L\) of the lifting surface on the screen, and the unknown density \(\widetilde\Psi\) and a right-hand side \(h\) depend on the unknown circulation \(\Gamma\). To fulfil the Kutta condition in such a way that all terms can be defined mathematically exactly and belong to spaces which are physically meaningful, the authors propose to fix \(\Gamma\) by the condition of vanishing stress intensity factors of \(\Phi\) near \(x_t\) up to a certain order, such that \(\nabla\Phi|_{x_t}\in W_2^{\sigma}(x_t)\subset L_2(x_t)\) for an appropriate \(\sigma>0\). In the case where \(L\) is the left half-plane in \(\mathbb R^2,\) an explicit formula for \(\Gamma\) is given and the regularity of \(\Gamma\) and \(\Phi\) is controlled. In the case of a polygonal wing projection \(L\), the authors propose a strategy to calculate \(\Gamma\) by minimizing the stress intensity factors near \(x_t\) in the sense of least squares. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0877.00013].
