Extract

A number of panel methods are now currently in use for solving potential flow about single and multi-element aerofoils. All these methods use a combination of singularities, both source and vorticity, on or inside the aerofoil surface and solve the singularity strengths by satisfying the boundary condition of zero normal flow on the surface of the aerofoil.

In this note the method developed by Basu for solving single aerofoil problem using the concept of internal singularity distribution has been applied to the case of multi-element aerofoil problem.
