Following the formulation described in Katz and Plotkin's 'Low-Speed Aerodynamics', this is a simple panel method for predicting pressure distributions over symmetric NACA aerofoils applying the Neumann boundary condition (zero flow normal to a body surface). This has been kept simple to help beginners (like myself) get to grips with the panel code approach.
