Nonstationary hydrodynamic characteristics of a double grid of profiles

The flow about a double grid of solid profiles of arbitrary shape which vibrate in a stream of an ideal incompressible fluid is considered. Behind the grid profiles, the nonstationary vortex traces simulated by the lines of contact velocity discontinuity are taken into account. The problem is reduced to the solution of a system of two integral equations relative to the fluid velocity on the initial profiles of the double grid under the assumption that the vibration amplitudes are small. Formulas for calculating the nonstationary forces and moments are derived. The dependences of these forces on the shape, mutual positions, and laws of vibration of the grid profiles are studied.
