Abstract

The unsteady two-dimensional rotational flow past doubly connected domains is analytically addressed. By concentrating the vorticity in point vortices, the flow is modelled as a potential flow with point singularities. The dependence of the complex potential on time is defined according to the Kelvin theorem. The general case of non-null circulations around the solid bodies is discussed. Vortex shedding and time evolution of the circulation past a two-element airfoil and past a two-bladed Darrieus turbine are presented as physically coherent examples.
