Boundary element methods 233<br />

From the value of the potential at the corners A and B, the average<br />

velocity within the patch is found as:<br />

Ev D<br />

B A<br />

jExB ExAj Ð ExB ExA<br />

jExB ExAj<br />

i.e. the absolute value of the velocity is:<br />

The direction is tangential to the body, the unit tangential is ⊲ExB ExA⊳/<br />

Ev is not constant! To evaluate this expression, the velocity within the patch<br />

is approximated by:<br />

Ev D a C bt C ct 2<br />

t is the tangential coordinate directed from A to B. EvA and EvB are the<br />

velocities at the patch corners.The coefficients a, b, andc are determined<br />

from the conditions:<br />

ž The velocity at t D 0isEvA: a DEvA.<br />

ž The velocity at t D 1isEvB: a C b C c DEvB.<br />

ž The average velocity (integral over one patch) is Ev: a C 1<br />

This yields:<br />

Using the above quadratic approximation for Ev, the integral of Ev 2 over the<br />

patch area is found after some lengthy algebraic manipulations as:<br />
