Discretization of a Vortex Sheet, with an Example of a Roll-up.

Abstract

The point vortex approximation of a vortex sheet in two space dimensions is examined and a remedy for some of its shortcomings is suggested. The approximation is then applied to the study of the roll-up of a vortex sheet induced by an elliptically loaded wing. (Author)
