Vortex Sheet Intensity Computation in Incompressible Flow Simulation Around an Airfoil by Using Vortex Methods

Abstract

A numerical scheme is developed to simulate a flow around airfoils by using vortex methods. For this scheme, a numerical algorithm is constructed and exact analytical expressions are obtained for the coefficients of a system of linear algebraic equations. For some test problems, it is shown that the developed scheme allows us to solve a wider class of problems and provides much more accurate results in comparison with the known approaches.
