Review text

A general linear superposition theory for finite-element formulation is proposed for airfoil pitching, heaving, and control surface oscillations. It divides the solution into time-independent and first-harmonic subsolutions. The crucial part of the formulation is the finite-element treatment of the wake behind the trailing edge, which is modelled through velocity potential difference rather than through the conventional tangential velocity difference. The proper numerical form of the unsteady Kutta condition is discussed in detail. To avoid any numerical blockage effect, a parametric study of finite-element mesh sizes is also conducted. Finally, the unsteady aerodynamic forces obtained are employed to calculate flutter speed with a new iteration scheme.
