Notes:
A multi-vortex model of the vortex sheets shed from the sharp leading edges of slender wings is considered. The method, which is developed within the framework of slender-body theory, is designed to deal with those situations in which more than one centre of rotation is formed on the wing, for example on a slender wing with lengthwise camber or with a strake. Numerical results are presented, firstly for situations where comparison can be made with a vortex sheet model and secondly for cases, such as those described above, where a vortex sheet model is unable to describe the flow. Where comparison is available, agreement is good and in the cases where more than one vortex system is present interesting interactions are obtained.
