A BILINEAR SOURCE AND DOUBLET DISTRIBUTION OVER A PLANAR PANEL AND ITS APPLICATIONS TO SURFACE PANEL METHODS

This paper presents closed-forms for computing the induced potentials and velocities due to a bilinear density distribution of surface and/or doublet singularities over a planar panel. The surface integrals associated with Green's scalar identity can be transformed into contour integrals using Stokes' formulas. The analysis includes the cases of constant or linear distributions. The closed-forms are more computer-oriented and explicit than those derived previously so that the matrix elements of the linear system of algebraic equations in application of surface panel methods can be obtained with much easier implementation.
