A modeling of the vortex/airfoil interaction is presented, in which the finite-area of the real vortices is taken into consideration. Two vortex models are used. In the first, a disturbed piece of a vorticity layer is simulated by four rows of discrete vortices of small strength. In the second, a number of discrete vortices is arranged within a circle. The first model may simulate a shear layer or a wake and the second a well-formed vortex. The method has been applied to the calculation of the pressure induced on the surface of the airfoil by the interacting vortex. Both models yield similar results. It has been found that when the distance of the vortex from the surface of the airfoil is large, the finite-area of the vortex is not a significant factor in determining the induced pressure field. However, when the distance of the vortex from the surface is reduced, its shape is distorted and the inducedpressure pulses have lower amplitude than those induced by an equivalent point vortex. At the limit, where it impinges on the leading edge of the airfoil, the vortex is split in two and the time-dependent pressure coefficient takes on even negative values at some time intervals.
