Notes:
Theodorsen's method for calculating the incompressible potential flow past an aerofoil is viewed afresh. It is found that some simple modifications to the computational process make the computations relatively faster, easier and more accurate. The new modifications are applicable to the analysis of conventional aerofoils with up to moderate thickness and camber ratios. Several examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the modifications.
