A boundary element analysis of quasi-potential inviscid incompressible flow in multiply connected airfoil wing

Abstract

AbstractThe quasi-potential flow in a doubly linked airfoil wing with a sharp trailing edge can be solved using a high-order boundary-element method (BEM). A bicubic Hermite spline interpolation is used to express the unknown, with node derivatives given by finite difference method. The revolutionary traits apply to bleeding-edge settings; specifically, challenges relating to the three-dimensional problem of multiply connected domains are investigated. Numerical validation examples were utilized to assess the implemented BEM approach.
