A mathematical model is developed to analyze the viscous aerodynamics of an harmonically oscillating flat plate airfoil cascade in an incompressible laminar flow. The steady flow field is described by the Navier-Stokes equations, with the unsteady viscous flow modeled as a small perturbation to this steady flow. Solutions for both the steady and the unsteady viscous flow fields are then obtained by developing locally analytical solutions. The significant effects of Reynolds number, elastic axis, interblade phase angle and incidence angle on the oscillating cascade unsteady aerodynamics and torsional flutter characteristics are then demonstrated.
