Numerical solution of wing integro-differential equation

Abstract

A numerical solution method of Prandtl integro-differential equation for a finite span wingwas presented. Comparative calculations with Glauert’s analitycal method were performed. A goodagreement of results on the non-uniform mesh was obtained
