Evolutionary understanding of airfoil lift
Abstract This review attempts to elucidate the physical origin of aerodynamic lift of an airfoil using simple formulations and notations, particularly focusing on the critical effect of the fluid viscosity. The evolutionary development of the lift problem of a flat-plate airfoil is reviewed as a can...
