JoshTheEngineer | Source/Vortex Panel Method: System of Equations @JoshTheEngineer | Uploaded May 2020 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
In this video, we will combine the source panel method and vortex panel method into a hybrid source/vortex panel method that is more robust than our previous vortex panel method implementation, and which follows the method of Hess and Smith. In the next video, we will implement the equations shown here in the MATLAB and Python code.

===== NOTES =====
- On the whiteboard at 13:55 (and on), the final term on the RHS (b array) has a beta_N, which for this 3-panel problem, can just be written as beta_3.

===== ERRORS =====
- If you see an error in the video, please let me know and I will include it here.
