JoshTheEngineer | Vortex Panel Method: Tangential Velocity Geometric Integral [L(ij)] @JoshTheEngineer | Uploaded April 2020 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
We just finished the video for the source panel method (SPM), and saw its inherent limitations as we looked at some results for an airfoil. Now, to be able to code up the vortex panel method (VPM), we need to compute geometric integrals similar to those for the SPM. These geometric integrals come from the expressions for the normal and tangential velocity.
In this video, we derive the geometric integral from the tangential velocity expression (Lij). In the next video, we will derive the X and Y velocity expression geometric integrals needed for the streamline calculations, after which we can construct a system of equations to solve for the vortex panel strengths.
