Abstract

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 on a bicubic interpolation of both geometry and quantities over each element of discretisation of the boundary. Numerical validation of the formulation is performed by studying the aerodynamic solution around fuselages and wings, and making comparisons with existing numerical results.
