    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.33, No.2, pp. 131-154, 2008, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2008.033.131

    Abstract A potential flow based boundary element method was devised to obtain the hydrodynamic forces acting on oscillating wings. A new formulation of the unsteady Kutta condition, postulating a finite pressure difference at the trailing edge of the flapping wing and proposed earlier by the authors, is implemented in the numerical procedure. A comparison with published experimental data (Read et al., 2003) is carried out and the three-dimensional computational results showed good agreement, especially if compared with a similar two-dimensional numerical approach (La Mantia and Dabnichki, 2008) and the potential analytical model of Garrick (1936).
