PotentialFOAM - meeting the Kutta condition

I am using the potentialFOAM solver for flow around a 2D aerofoil (in this case a multi-element aerofoil, but my question is general). I understand the limitations of using a potential solver, but there are good reasons for doing it in this case. The problem I am having is in making sure that the Kutta condition is satisfied. I have attached a screenshot of the streamlines I am currently getting, which indicate that the Kutta condition is not being satisfied (and also explains why my results match neither the exact solution or the output from another potential method). My question is therefore what I need to do to make sure that the Kutta condition is satisfied - is it something in my boundary files (which I have attached), or a separate setting somewhere?
Any help would be much appreciated. Richard |
