Abstract

As illustrated in Chap. 3, Sect. 3.8.2, the unsteady pressure on the nose of an aerofoil during gust-aerofoil interaction in uniform flow was predicted to be singular, which violates the small perturbation assumption, and hence the asymptotic results become invalid in a small region close to the nose of the aerofoil.
