Lifting surface theory for a helicopter rotor in forward flight

A lifting surface theory was developed for a helicopter rotor in forward flight for compressible and incompressible flow. The method utilizes the concept of the linearized acceleration potential and makes use of the vortex lattice procedure. Calculations demonstrating the application of the method are given in terms of the lift distribution on a single rotor, a two-bladed rotor, and a rotor with swept-forward and swept-back tips. In addition, the lift on a rotor which is vibrating in a pitching mode at 4/rev is given. Compressibility effects and interference effects for a two-bladed rotor are discussed.

Detailed balance as a check on impact parameter calculations.

It is demonstrated numerically that detailed balance indeed is well satisfied in the multi-state impact parameter formulation of proton-hydrogen atom collisions. It is also demonstrated numerically that detailed balance is a much more sensitive test of computational accuracy than is the charge conservation test usually employed in such impact parameter calculations. It is suggested that detailed balance be used as a check on all impact parameter calculations. That even agreement with detailed balance may not be a sufficient test for accuracy of the results is pointed out.
