Optimal lifting surfaces, including end plates, ground effect & thickness / David William Fin Standingford.

Bibliography: leaves 164-172. / xii, 172 leaves : ill. (some col.) ; 30 cm. / Title page, contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / The task of calculating the aerodynamic load distribution on a thin three-dimensional lifting surface or wing of finite aspect ratio at small angle of attack presents difficulties for most numerical methods. The two-dimensional lifting-surface integral equation that must be solved is highly singular, and does not possess analytic solutions, even for simple plan-form geometries such as rectangles or ellipses. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Applied Mathematics, 1998
