Dirichlet formulation with constant potential Ana Laverón Simavilla Mª Victoria Lapuerta González
Dirichlet Formulation The integral equation must be solved making the point P tend toward the body surface Doublet potential: d Source distribution Doublet distribution Doublet potential: d
Dirichlet Formulation Making the inner potential zero: Doublet distribution
Constant potential method (2D) The profile’s contour is modeled with N panels, that will be straight segments. Panels are determined by N+1 nodes Collocation points are the midpoints of each panel: Node of trailing edge node panel j node j node j+1 Path followed around the profile
Constant potential method (2D) The following conditions are imposed: Constant potential on each panel The previous equation is rewritten for the collocation points k N - 1
Constant potential method (2D) To solve the integrals on each panel it’s suitable to choose axes bound to the panel ( u,v ) v u C.P. k j j+1 panel j k j j+1
Constant potential method (2D) For the panel, k=j For the layer surface, a semi-infinite panel is used Finally:
Constant potential method (2D) Matrix form: with and

Flow around a Karman-Trefftz profile x y R x0x0 y0y0 0 0 a kaka We will compare the numerical and the analytic results for a Kármán-Trefftz profile.
1.For n panels calculate the pressure coefficient on the profile’s lower and upper,. For this, calculate the speed on the nodes using the expression: where d i is the distance between the collocation points i and i+1. 2.Calculate the global circulation around the airfoil: 3.Compare the results with those obtained exactly using the Kármán-Trefftz transformation. Required calculations
