Abstract
Combining Iso-Geometric analysis (IGA) with Boundary Element Methods (BEM) for inviscid lifting flows imposes a number of difficulties. Firstly, an IGABEM collocation scheme has to take into account the tangent-plane discontinuity occurring along the trailing edge (TE). More important, the scheme has to handle the non-linear Kutta condition, securing continuity of the normal velocity and pressure through the a-priori unknown wake, a force-free boundary surface emanating from TE.
In this presentation we shall review the status of our work towards developing a pair of IGABEM collocation schemes for computing steady lifting flows around 2D and 3D bodies , e.g., hydrofoils, marine propellers; [1,2]. In the latter case, the ansatz functions are inherited from T-spline representations which are free from singularities occurring, e.g., at the tip of a propeller blade, when NURBS are used.
