Alternative solution of the kernel function in subsonic unsteady lifting surface theory. (English) Zbl 0848.76030

The purpose is to outline an approach to the approximation of the kernel function. To this end, the kernel function has been approximated with a portion of the integrand in the kernel replaced with a simple curve fit. This curve fit employs functions that render the integrand readily integrable. The accuracy of this approximation could be questioned, but as shown in example calculations, the presented method compares well to the generally accepted asymptotic results.
