Abstract
Aiming to enable the use of mid-fidelity panel methods over low-fidelity potential methods in the context of mass simulations for aircraft design, a two-dimensional steady-state prototype was implemented to demonstrate the feasibility of panel methods for aerodynamic simulations. In contrast to most state-of-the-art panel codes, this method is based on high-order singularity distributions and a Galerkin formulation. This paper demonstrates several advantages of the method over the more traditional low-order collocation-based methods.
