Abstract
A method implemented by a computer for the real-time simulation of a force and/or of a moment applied to a wing in a fluid flow, wherein the body is previously modelled by at least two scalar and vector point sources of a velocity field, the method including at least one of the steps: assessing at least one element selected among a force and a moment, through a linear function dependent on the main velocity vector, V, of the flow; at least one flow rate, referred to as the scalar mass flow rate, As; and at least one flow rate, referred to as the vector mass flow rate, AR, associated with the sources, on at least one point corresponding to one of the sources.
