Question: In this problem you will model non - lifting flow over a unit - chord NACA 0 0 2 0 airfoil using discrete sources placed
In this problem you will model nonlifting flow over a unitchord NACA airfoil using discrete
sources placed on the chordline, as shown below.
The unknowns are the strengths of the sources, whose coordinates are vec The
equations are flow tangency enforced at the control points, vec By superposition, the velocity
at control point is
vechat
where is the velocity induced by source on control point Flow tangency requires that
vec where vec is the normal vector perpendicular to the geometry at control point The
geometry of the airfoil surface is
a Derive an expression for in terms of the coordinates of control point : vec
and the coordinates of node :vec
b Determine in the expression
implied sums
Your answer should be in terms of vecvec and vec Give a formula for vec in terms of the
geometry and its slope.
c Show that the flow tangency condition applied at the control points gives a linear system
of equations for the unknown source strengths,
where is an by matrix with entries from the previous part Q is a vector of
unknown source strengths, and is a righthandside vector entries give an expression
for the entries of
