| Summary: | With the continuous development of faster and cheaper computers of late, application of
computational methods in solving engineering problems has become increasingly
popular. New techniques are continuously being researched and developed in order to
bring the numerical solution nearer to reality. A Boundary Element Method is developed
in the research to solve aerodynamic problems. Investigations revealed that the solution
obtained using boundary element method is slightly superior to the solution provided by
the currently used Panel Method. It was also found that the new technique also manages
to obtain better result employing a lower number of nodes during solution, reducing the
computational time. However, the adoption of potential theory means that the stall
conditions of airfoils could still not be predicted at all. |
