This software provides a collection of computational tools for constructing numerical models for solving the problem of steady potential-flow over a two-dimensional object using panel methods. The software consists of three Mathematica packages and supporting documentation. The primary package defines functions for geometric influence coefficients for commonly used source, doublet and vortex distributions. There are two support packages, one defining a data type for a collection of vectors, and the other defining functions for the geometry of airfoils and their discretization. Two models are implemented and tested to illustrate the use of these computational tools.
