Abstract
In earlier papers [1-4] a simple, general, and computationally fast me thod for investigating heat conduction in heterogeneous and complex ma terials was presented. In this paper, we show that the method, in prin ciple, can be extended to study the fluid now around arbitrarily shape d bodies. Initial results are presented for two-dimensional incompress ible inviscid now around a circle and a Rankine oval. Calculated veloc ity and pressure distributions are compared against those obtained ana lytically and by other numerical methods.
