2.097/6.339/16.920 Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations
Fall 2009
Simulation of the flow about a flapping wing at low Reynolds number using the 3DG code. The picture shows isosurfaces of entropy colored according to the Mach number.
Instructors: Anthony T Patera, Jaime Peraire, Jacob K White, Karen E Willcox
TA: Emily Renee Israeli
Lecture: MW8-9.30 (1-390)
Information:
A presentation of the fundamentals of modern numerical techniques for a wide range of linear and nonlinear elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic partial differential equations and integral equations central to a wide variety of applications in science, engineering, and other fields. Topics include: mathematical formulations, finite difference and finite volume discretizations, finite element discretizations, boundary element discretizations, direct and iterative solution methods.

Project 4 Problem 6 Velocity Computation
For part e, you need to account for the jump in the normal derivative when computing the velocity profile of the wing. You can think of this as -2*pi*sigma*normal...make sure you take this contribution only in the normal when subtracting it from the velocity i.e. v=[v_x,v_y,v_z]. Hint: for part d, this term can be excluded but must be taken into account for part e.
Hope this helps.
