An approximate theory for potential flow through cascades of airfoils
A new analytic theory is presented for predicting certain characteristics of the plane potential flow through a cascade. The analysis is based on the assumption that the airfoils of the cascade deviate only slightly from straight lines. The theory provides a means for obtaining higher order approxi...

A new analytic theory is presented for predicting certain characteristics of the plane potential flow through a cascade. The analysis is based on the assumption that the airfoils of the cascade deviate only slightly from straight lines.
The theory provides a means for obtaining higher order approximations than have been found heretofore. As a result it has been possible to evaluate the accuracy of existing first-order approximations.
In addition the first-order theory has been extended by the addition of a means for obtaining the variation of flow velocity and pressure at the airfoils, and the removal of certain restrictions on angle of attack. |
