Abstract: The Biot-Savart law is used in aerodynamic theory to calculate the velocity induced by curved vortex lines. Explicit formulas are developed, using multivariate Appell hypergeometric functions, for the velocity induced by a general parabolic vortex segment. The formulas are derived by constructing a particular pencil of elliptic curves whose period integrals provide the solution to the induced velocity. We use numerical integration and a perturbation expansion to evaluate the validity of our formulas.
