Hi,
My other post got deleted because it was flagged for spam, but it was just a link to a pdf. So I'm uploading the pdf instead.
I am working on a model to predict drag on airfoils in 2D potential flow (e.g. vortex panel methods). Currently, XFOIL uses a semi-empirical wake-momentum-thickness method to estimate drag, but I think there is a more elegant explanation for drag.
My physical model seems to show some promise but has one loose end: a parameter for which I am not sure how to estimate. Any critiques or other assistance would be greatly appreciated.
