The document discusses various methods for modeling and analyzing 3D incompressible flows, including: 1. Lifting surface theory which extends lifting line theory to model low aspect ratio wings by placing multiple lifting lines on the wing. 2. The vortex lattice method for numerically solving lifting surface theory using a discrete number of horseshoe vortices on the wing. 3. Modeling a 3D source/sink and doublet and using them to represent flow over a sphere. 4. General panel methods which cover a 3D body with source/vortex panels and apply flow tangency to solve for the unknown flow distributions. Challenges include properly distributing panels over complex geometries.
