A generalized vortex lattice methodSeveral variations of vortex lattice method that are currently available have proved practical and versatile theoretical tools for aerodynamic analysis and design of planar and nonplanar configurations. Success of method is due in great part to relative simplicity of numerical technique involved and to accuracy of results obtained; however, most of available procedures are for subsonic flow applications. VORLAX program was developed to incorporate direct extension of vortex lattice method into supersonic flow regime, thus providing analyst with full flow range capability.
