M. Gennaretti et al., A HIGH-ORDER BOUNDARY-ELEMENT FORMULATION FOR POTENTIAL INCOMPRESSIBLE AERODYNAMICS, Aeronautical Journal, 102(1014), 1998, pp. 211-219
A high order boundary element formulation is presented and applied to
the solution of potential, incompressible flows around non-lifting and
lifting configurations. The high order numerical algorithm is based o
n a bicubic interpolation of both geometry and quantities over each el
ement of discretisation of the boundary. Numerical validation of the f
ormulation is performed by studying the aerodynamic solution around fu
selages and wings, and making comparisons with existing numerical resu
lts.
