“…Figure 20 shows the panels on the surface of bodies. Table 3 gives the comparison between the panel-method results and the analytical results; the analytical result of the sphere is from Newman (1977) and that of the spheroid is from Sahin, Crane & Waston (1993). As seen in table 3, for the sphere, as the number of panels is about 10 4 , the result of the panel method is different from the analytical one by only 0.03 % and, for the spheroid, as the panel number is about 2 × 10 4 , the corresponding differences are less than 0.12 %.…”
