Some recent applications of the suction analogy to asymmetric flow situations

A recent extension of the suction analogy for the estimation of vortex loads on asymmetric configurations was reviewed. This includes the asymmetric augmented vortex lift and the forward sweep effect on side edge suction. Application of this extension to a series of skewed wings has resulted in an improved estimating capability for a wide range of asymmetric flow situations. Hence, the suction analogy concept now has more general applicability for subsonic lifting surface analysis.
