description

This paper deals with a BEM formulation of the trailing edge condition to determine the potential flow field around an airfoil. It is seen the trailing edge condition is not sufficient to give an unique solution. It is necessary to assign a further condition to eliminate the nonuniqueness of the solution. The approach allows to adopt a discretization into superior order elements. Some preliminary applications show the validity of the formulation.
