Note on the Application of Thwakes Numerical Method for the Design of Cambered Aerofoils

摘要

Some minor developments in the technique of Thwaites' Numerical Method of Aerofoil Design1 are described. In particular, the process of obtaining the camber-line ordinates from the Goldstein2 Approximation I velocity distribution is discussed in detail;the relevant tables of constants are given.nAn opportunity is taken to include a complete set of 20-point tables of Conjugation Factors needed in any actual application of the Numerical Methods. The theory underlying these tables is given by Watson in R. & M. 27163.
