Abstract
In this paper, we present a formulation for irrotational, isentropic flows in terms of velocity components which is equivalent to the classical potent ial equation, except the wake is not fixed and it is captured as part of th e solution with no special treatment. Preliminary numerical results are pre sented to validate this new approach.
