The flow about a lentil at large Reynolds number is investigated. A potential flow is considered and the shed vorticity from the lentil edges form two wakes which are discretized using point vortices. The analysis is carried out by employing the conformal mapping technique and two different vorticity generation mechanisms are compared. The results obtained with several lentil geometries (thickness and length) and incidence are shown.
