Review of the historical development of surface source methods
Abstract
Surface-source-type panel methods for the computation of incompressible inviscid potential flow problems are reviewed, taking theoretical, numerical, and practical aspects into consideration. The history of these techniques is traced from two-dimensional and axisymmetric methods to methods for three-dimensional nonlifting and lifting flows, higher-order three-dimensional formulations, and the development of input and output processors.
