Definition

An approximation method that represents time-varying aerodynamic forces and moments by treating each instantaneous flow and kinematic state as a sequence of steady solutions; valid when the flow and body motion evolve slowly compared with the aerodynamic response so that history-dependent (unsteady) effects are negligible.
