Constant-curl Laplacian equation: A new approach for the analysis of flows around bodies

Constant-curl Laplacian equation is a new approach to study the behaviour of flows around bodies that do not present boundary-layer separation. It owns the simplicity and linearity of a potential analysis but also includes the rotational effects induced by a rotational displacement of the body such...

description Constant-curl Laplacian equation is a new approach to study the behaviour of flows around bodies that do not present boundary-layer separation.

The idea is based upon a kinematic scheme that states the nullity of the velocity field Laplacian, imposing simultaneously the conditions of incompressibility and constant curl for velocity.
