Potential Flow Over an Airfoil

This example models and simulates the flow field around the cross section of a NACA airfoil using the inviscid potential equation. The potential field is here modeled with the classic Laplace PDE equation with a correction for the discontinuity at the trailing edge (the Kutta condition). On the boundaries, there is …
