Steady and transient aerodynamics of spoilers on airfoils

This thesis is concerned with the extension of a two-dimensional linearized potential flow theory applied to a thin airfoil with spoiler. The extension is first related to the prediction of the pitching moment for an airfoil immersed in a uniform steady state flow. Linear techniques have been used...
