panel methods [′pan·əl ‚meth·ədz]
(fluid mechanics) Methods used in ship design to simplify the computation of the flow of water around a ship by assuming the flow to be frictionless and by taking advantage of the linearity of the Laplace equation, which governs the velocity potential in frictionless flow, to superpose elementary solutions to the problem on panels on the hull and (in most methods) on the free surface of the water.
