Abstract

In the present work we propose a method to study a two-dimensional flow of non-viscous fluid around an airfoil with a sharp trailing edge, by the double-layer potential theory. The circulation of velocity vector is modeled by the potential of a point vortex whose center is located inside the boundary contour. The magnitude of the circulation is defined on the basis of the Joukowski-Chaplygin postulate. There are presented some results for a Joukowski rudde, as well as for the airfoil in the form of a pair of interacting circles. It is performed a comparison of the circulation with its theoretical value.
