  • Generalized formulation and review of piston theory for airfoils 
    Meijer, Marius-Corne; Dala, Laurent (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2016-01)
    The present work presents a brief review of some of the notable contributions to piston theory and of its theoretical basis. A generalized formulation of piston theory is given, applicable to both local and classical ...
  • Local piston theory as an alternative to mesh deformation : slender wing/body configurations 
    Meijer, Marius-Corne; Dala, Laurent (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2018)
    The suitability of local piston theory for modeling static loads on a deforming low-aspect-ratio wing in the presence of aerodynamic interference is investigated. Predictions using Euler-based local piston theory are ...
  • Quantifying nonlinearity in planar supersonic potential flows 
    Meijer, Marius-Corne; Dala, L. (Cambridge University Press, 2017-03)
    An analysis is presented which allows the engineer to quantitatively estimate the validity bounds of aerodynamic methods based in linear potential flows a-priori. The development is limited to quasi-steady planar flows ...
  • Role of higher-order terms in local piston theory 
    Meijer, Marius-Corne; Dala, Laurent (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2019-02)
    The use of second- and third-order classical piston theory (CPT) is commonplace, with the role of the higher-order terms being well understood. The advantages of local piston theory (LPT) relative to CPT have been ...
  • Zeroth-order flutter prediction for cantilevered plates in supersonic flow 
    Meijer, Marius-Corne; Dala, Laurent (Elsevier, 2015-08)
    An aeroelastic prediction framework in MATLAB with modularity in the quasi-steady aerodynamic methodology is developed. Local piston theory (LPT) is integrated with quasi-steady methods including shock-expansion theory ...
