Abstract
Summary: The method of images is used to calculate the analytical solution for an inviscid incompressible flow past four arbitrary circles which are then conformally mapped onto aerofoil sections. The analytical solution of the corresponding flow past the system of aerofoils is obtained and the pressure distributions about a particular three-element and a particular fourelement aerofoil are presented. These results are intended to be used to assess the accuracy of numerical methods.Keywords
