摘要：
A pseudoimplicit predictor-corrector relaxation algorithm with five-point central differencing in space has been developed for the solution of the governing differential equations of the helicopter rotor free-wake problem. This new approach is compared and contrasted with more conventional explicit-type free-wake algorithms. A convergence analysis shows that the new algorithm provides for much more rapid convergence characteristics compared to explicit methods, with improvements in numerical efficiency and predictive accuracy.
