Fundamental Theory of Panel Method
Mª Victoria Lapuerta GonzálezAna Laverón Simavilla
Introduction
Allows one to solve the potential incompressible problem (or linearized compressible) for complex geometries.
Based on distributing singularities over the body’s surface and calculating their intensities so as to comply with the boundary conditions on the body.
Lowers the problem’s dimension 3D to 2D (the variables are on the wing’s surface) 2D to 1D (the variables are on the profile’s curvature
line)

The boundary condition for the “inner potential” is undertermined; it’s the degree of freedom that allows one to choose amoung different singularities.

Neumann Formulation
The derivative of the equation is taken to calculate the perpendicular velocity on the body ( ) and then it is set to zero. The variables are: and . If the inner potential is zero, the only variable is
(doublet distribution).
Information about the constant part of the potential is lost
