Abstract

A computational procedure for the analysis of loads due to steady and oscillatory control surface deflections is presented. The numerical algorithm is based on a time accurate solution of the transonic full potential equation in a body-fitted coordinate system. Control surface deflection and motion are modeled using an equivalent body velocity that circumvents the need for generating time-dependent grids and interpolation between planes and discontinuity
