- Panel methods are inviscid solutions. You will not capture viscous effects except via user “modeling” by changing the geometry.
- Solutions are invalid as soon as the flow develops local supersonic zones (Critical Mach Number)

Famous quotes containing the word methods:
“A writer who writes, “I am alone” ... can be considered rather comical. It is comical for a man to recognize his solitude by addressing a reader and by using methods that prevent the individual from being alone. The word alone is just as general as the word bread. To pronounce it is to summon to oneself the presence of everything the word excludes.”
—Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)
