Incompressible Flow Over Finite Wings-Intro

This document discusses incompressible flow over finite wings. It introduces the differences between 2D flow over an infinite wing and 3D flow phenomena over a finite wing, such as wing-tip vortices. It also shows schematics of the streamlines and pressure distribution over a finite wing, as well as diagrams demonstrating the induced drag and downwash effect on local airfoil sections of a finite wing. Key aerodynamic coefficients for finite wings like CL, CD, and CM are also mentioned.
