Chapters 2–4

Inviscid Incompressible Flow

Potential flow, circulation, and the foundations of lift. Kutta-Joukowski theorem in action before viscosity enters the picture.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

→ Apply Bernoulli along streamlines
→ Solve Laplace equation for flow over cylinders
→ Connect circulation to lift generation

KEY EQUATIONS

L' = \rho_\infty V_\infty \Gamma

Kutta-Joukowski lift per unit span
