Abstract
The problem of calculating the nonstationary aerodynamic characteristics of a cascade of thin lightly loaded airfoils in a subsonic flow with the formation of thin separation zones of finite extent is solved approximately. As in [1–5], an approach based on a linear small-perturbation analysis, within which the flow is assumed to be inviscid, is employed and the boundaries of the unsteady separation zones are simulated by oscillating lines of contact discontinuity. However, instead of the requirement of a given fixed pressure at the boundary of the separation zone, used in [1–5], this study proposes a more general condition according to which on each element of length of the thin separation layer the pressure oscillates with an amplitude proportional to the local value of the amplitude of its thickness oscillations. The problem is reduced to a system of two singular integral equations which can be solved numerically.
