Fourier's Theorem in Aerodynamics

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  14 September 2016

Extract

In “Practical Aerodynamics,” Major B. Baden–Powell quotes the following; formulae for the pressure of the air on a moving plane when expressed as a function of the angle of attack α, taking the pressure as unity when α=90°.

I. Duchemin

II. Rayleigh (hydrodynamical)

IIa. Gerlach

III. Renard

IV. Soreau

V. Eiffel, 1907,

VI. Another formula frequently quoted is

and a more complicated formula, depending on the aspect ratio of the plane, has been proposed by Soreau.
