A new approach to flow problems past a screen
Abstract
A new method to simulate flows past a two-dimensional porous plate is proposed. The method is a simple application of a discrete vortex method which has been well established for flows past an inclined flat plate. In this method, a flow past a porous plate is described as superposition of the velocity potential of a uniform flow on that of a flow past a flat plate. The effect of porosity is replaced by that of a mass flow rate of the approaching freestream passing through the plate. Calculated flow features are compared with experiments. It is shown that the present method is effective in the simulation of the flow past a porous plate.
