Experimental verification and computational comparison of an oseen flow slender body theory (2010)
Thesis
Khan, H. Experimental verification and computational comparison of an oseen flow slender body theory. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This project further develops recent work which proposes a new theory that predicts the forces on slender bodies, and slender and thin wings. A steady, incompressible uniform field for high Reynolds numbers (although aerodynamically low-speed) is a...
