Perturbation Methods + Airfoils

AI Thread Summary
Suggestions for reference texts on perturbation methods for thin airfoils include Karamcheti and Anderson, although Van Dyke is considered a strong resource. The original poster finds Katz and Plotkin's text challenging to follow and is seeking alternatives. The community is encouraged to share additional recommendations. Overall, the discussion focuses on finding accessible literature for understanding perturbation methods in aerodynamics.

First of all, thanks for reading.

I'd like to ask if some of you here can suggest a reference text concerning perturbation methods on thin airfoil? I'm using the text of Katz and Plotkin as well as Van Dyke but for now, I find it challenging to follow their discussion. I hope that finding a similar text could help.

Thanks in advance,
Ws :)

You might try either Karamcheti or Anderson, but Van Dyke is already what I would think is the best source here.
 
Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
