1) Value of the elements of the matrix [Aij]First the values for beta, theta and r must be found.
r [i,j]=
0.5
0.5
0.354
0.5
0.877 0.1885 0.1885 0.877
0.39
0.6474 0.39
0.39theta [j]=
π
π /4 - π/9
Once these values have been obtained A can be solved:
A=
0 -0.1346 0.1763
0.0750
0 -0.2387
-0.0649 0.1144
0Also the RHS of the equation:
R=
The first column stands for alpha=0º and the second for alpha=10º

0.52) Show that the matrix is singular before applying Kutta’s condition
DeterminantOfA = -5.7246e-04≈0
3) Apply Kutta’s condition and write thesystem of equations (in matrix
form)
A1 =
0 -0.1346 0.1763

As before, in the matrix R1, the first column is foralpha=0º and the second for alpha=10º
[A] * [ɣ] = [R] would be the system used to solve for ɣ
4) Solve γi for α = 0° and α =10°, and compute the lift inboth cases.

To calculate the 𝑐𝑙 the total circulation is needed:
𝛤 = ∑𝑛𝑖 𝛾𝑖 ∗ 𝑙𝑖
where l is the length of eachpanel
𝛤0º =
0.6168
𝑐𝑙 = 2 ∗ 𝛤 ∗ ρ ∗ U∞ as as assuming ρ and 𝑈∞ are equal to 1:
CL1 =
1.2336
5) Compare the result with the prediction of theThin Airfoil Theory.
Which result do you think is more accurate and why?
