SUMMARY

A mathematical theory is developed which enables the wind-tunnel corrections to the lift and moment forces acting on an aerofoil in subsonic two-dimensional flow to be calculated. The usual “averaged” boundary condition for slotted walls is assumed and the corrections obtained by successive approximation from the open-jet tunnel.
