panelmethoden
Panelmethoden is a numerical technique used in computational fluid dynamics and potential flow theory to solve for the velocity and pressure fields around objects. It is particularly effective for external flow problems where the fluid is assumed to be inviscid and incompressible. The core idea is to discretize the surface of the object into a series of small, flat panels. Each panel is then assigned a singularity, such as a source or a doublet, of unknown strength.
The strength of these singularities is determined by solving a system of linear equations. These equations
Panel methods are computationally efficient compared to full Navier-Stokes solvers for certain types of problems, especially
