Hi,

In vortex lattice method for swept wing. Is it correct to assume that cl = a(aoa_effective) . IS the local angle of attack of at any spanwise location is a function of a lift gradient which is constant for a given aerofoil. Or that only true for unswept wing.

If so, how would we calculate the effective or induced angle of attack spanwise distribution.

I have tried many methods such as the one stated in Katz and the results does not seem to be correct for swept wing.

My validation method is modelling a flat wing where a = 2pi cos (sweep angle).

I would appreciate any help.

Many thanks
