Finite difference methods for unsteady transonic flow frequency use simplified equations in which certain of the time dependent terms are omitted from the governing equations. Kernel functions are derived for two dimensional subsonic flow, and provide accurate solutions of the linearized potential equation with the same time dependent terms omitted. These solutions make possible a direct evaluation of the finite difference codes for the linear problem. Calculations with two of these low frequency kernel functions verify the accuracy of the LTRAN2 and HYTRAN2 finite difference codes. Comparisons of the low frequency kernel function results with the Possio kernel function solution of the complete linear equations indicate the adequacy of the HYTRAN approximation for frequencies in the range of interest for flutter calculations.

1Letters to a Daughter

By Hubert Bland

<i>Letters to a Daughter</i> is a collection of essays proffering ‘fatherly advice’ in the form of a one-sided correspondence. Each of these takes the form of a response to a question that a young woman who is about to enter adult society might pose. The fictional daughter in <i>Letters to a Daughter</i> is named ‘Alexa.’ The author, Hubert Bland, a columnist and political activist, dedicated the book to his daughter, Rosamund Edith Nesbit Bland. <br><br> While married to the author Edith Nesbit, Mr. Bland had a lifelong extramarital relationship with Alice Hoatson, the birth mother of Rosamund - Edith, Alice and Hubert lived together ‘openly’. Rosamund wrote <i>The Man in the Stone House</i>, a novel about a young woman’s relationship with her parents, and the children’s book <i>Moo Cow Tales</i>; she also wrote the children's book <i>Cat Tales</i> with her adoptive mother, Edith Nesbit - Summary by Brian Fullen

Moo Cow Tales is a collection of four children's short stories written during the 1890's by young author Rosamund Edith Nesbit Bland. In 1904, Rosamund co-authored another book of children's stories, Cat Tales, with her adoptive mother, Edith Nesbit. Rosamund Edith Nesbit Bland also wrote the 1934 novel, The Man in the Stone House, about a young woman's relationship with her parents. Each story in Moo Cow Tale uses the literary device of personification. The book from which this recording is made has many fine illustrations by Evelyn Stuart Hardy (1866-1935), an artist whose work graced so many publications including children's books that featured pop-ups and moveable pictures.
