Nonplanar, supersonic, three-dimensional, oscillatory, piecewise continuous-kernel function method

The three-dimensional, supersonic, piecewise continuous-kernel function method formulated for studying oscillatory and steady flows is hereby extended to cope with nonplanar configurations in the supersonic region. This work treats problems associated with the computation of the kernel function for the nonplanar supersonic case and the anomalies associated with almost adjoining lifting surfaces. Interference aerodynamic forces as computed by the present method are compared with results obtained using other numerical methods. The reverse flow theorem is also used to indicate the accuracy of the computed results.
