AERODYNAMIC LOADS

Once Eq. (9.25) is solved the unknown singularity values are obtained (цк in this example). The velocity components are evaluated now in terms of the panel local coordinates (l, m,n) shown in Fig. 9.10. The two tangential perturbation velocity components are

panels. The normal component of the velocity is obtained from the source (in this example):

The total velocity in the local (/, m, n) direction of panel к is

and of course the normal velocity component on a solid boundary is zero. The pressure coefficient can now be computed for each panel using Eq. (4.53):

The contribution of this element to the nondimensional fluid dynamic loads is normal to the panel surface and is

where S is a reference area. In terms of the pressure coefficient the panel contribution to the fluid dynamic load becomes

The individual contributions of the panel elements now can be summed up to compute the desired aerodynamic forces and moments.
