Integral-equation methods in steady and unsteady subsonic, transonic, and supersonic aerodynamics for interdisciplinary design

Abstract This paper reviews the NASA Langley Research Center program for development of integral-equation aerodynamic methods with emphasis on application in computer-aided multidisciplinary design processes as well as in aerodynamic design and stand-alone analysis. The accomplishments, status, and outlook of the program are discussed in order to highlight the scope, generality, versatility, and attractive features of this methodology.
