Description
Summary:It is aim of this thesis to develop a potential ow solver for unsteady aerodynamics in MATLAB environment. In order to achieve this target a vortex lattice method based has been developed. The validation of this program involves two dierent stages. Initially, it is compared with classical experiments and a well tested code. In a second step, the program is compared with wind tunnel experiments for two dierent aircraft's con gurations, classical and with canard. In the end it will be demonstrated that the present method achieves good agreement in both stages.
