Abstract
Panel methods are ideal for calculating the flowfield over an airfoil executing unsteady time-dependent motion in an inviscid incompressible medium. The unsteady motion on the airfoil causes continuous vortex shedding at the trailing wake, which distinguishes unsteady flows from steady flows. Therefore, before we discuss panel methods for unsteady flows, it is useful to discuss panel methods for steady flows.
