Vortex Lattice
Vortex Lattice
(OP)
Hi,
I'm looking for literature on the vortex lattice method, or prandtl's lifting line method.
This is so old now that I suppose it's freely available.
If not, an advise for a good book explaining this will do as well.
Thanks in advance,
Gerrit

RE: Vortex Lattice
I think you are workin on lift distribution. The named method
Prandtl-Glauert or Glauert can be well read in "AIRCRAFT STRUCTURES OF David Peery". This method is based on lifting line theory and solved with Fourier series.
About "VORTEX LATTICE METHOD" theory:

More simple theory of VLM can be readed in:

According to the reviews, the 80's edition is much worse.
Anyone who may confirm this? (Before I buy...)
RE: Vortex Lattice
The theory (Prandtl-Glauert) is briefly discussed in Peery (1949) Chapter 9 - Spanwise Air-Load DIstribution, referencing H. Glauert's earlier work, "The Elements of Aerofoil and Airscrew Theory", Cambridge University Press, London. 1926.
