No rnatter how complex the body shape, the aerodynamic forces and moments on the body
are entirely due to the above two basic sources. They are the only mechanisms nature has for
communicating a force to a body moving through a fluid.

The integrated eflect of these distributions gives rise to a resultant aerodynamic force. This
can be resolved into a component normal to the freestream velocity
parallel

(lift, 1,), and a component

to the freestream velocity (drag, D).

These are usually expressed in dimensionless form, for two important reasons:

Comparison between inviscid and viscous aerofoil flows

All real fluids are viscous. However, in many high Reynolds number flows, viscous eflects are
confined to a very thin boundary layer adjacent to the body surface and to the wake.

Outside of boundary layers and wake regions, the flow can reasonably be treated as inviscid. For

streamlined bodies in which boundary layers and wakes are thin,'inviscid'computations

of surface pressure are very close to - possibly within measurement accuracy - the true value.
lnviscid theory then gives excellent predictions for the lift.
ln two-dimensional flow, inviscid theory predicts zero drag; this is obtained by integrating around

the aerofoil for the axial force component generated by the pressure (which itself everywhere
acts normal to the body surface). Even when the boundary layer remains attached (i.e. there is
no flow separation), this zero drag prediction is incorrect for real viscous two-dimensional flows,
where drag arises for two reasons:

^J

(i) Skin friction on the body surface

(ii) The growth of the boundary layer changes, very slightly, the 'eflective' body shape as seen by
the external flow. ln turn this alters the pressure distribution slightly so that integrating around
the aerofoil surface now generates a drag force. This is the boundary layer ind[qed pressure:!-r_ag.

Vorticity and simple vortex motion

The following comments refer specifically to 2D flows, although they can be extended readily to
three dimensions. Consider an infinitesimal element of fluid, initially square in shape. Because of
velocity gradients in the flow field i.e. the terms

the fluid element distorts continuously. This rate of distortion is usually referred to as the rate
of strain. ln a real viscous fluid this rate of strain is responsible, through the efFect of viscosity,
for producing viscous stresses.
We can consider three types of rate of strain

ln the above sketches we have assumed incompressible flow. This means that the area (or volume
in 3D) of the element remains constant as it distorts. The concepts we are deriving, however, hold

equally to compressible flows. ln general, any flow will combine together the three distortions we
have seen above.

*2
An important concept in fluid motion is the determination of the fluid angular velocity. How do
we define it for a fluid which may be experiencing the deformations shown above? Again consider
an infinitesimal fluid element which moves, and distorts over a very small time interval dt. The
element centre is
d

at O, and we define two (initial) axes AB and CD which rotate during this

istortion.

Vorticity is a vector (we will see later that it is defined as the curl of the fluid velocity). Equation
I.2.2 gives its magnitude. The direction of the unit vector - its axis of rotation - lies along the
z-axis (out of the page for two-dimensional flow in the x-y plane) and positive vorlicity is rotation

Our flows are normally confined to the first of these. Once

it has been created,

vorticity moves

through the flow field by:

An important note is that rotation, as specified by vorticity, corresponds to the changijlgg.lsn-

cle, and not to motion of the particle on a fluid path. E.g.

in

the free vortex problem considered later, we will see that each fluid particle moves on a circular
path, but its vorticity is zero.

to

have

fluid particles moving in a straight line

of rotating blades which produce lift and drag, and involve complex helical

flow:;. Overall performance features can be analysed using an approximation called actuator disc

4: Actuator disc theory for wind turbine

Wind turbines extract mean energy from the flow. Hence the flow which passes through a wrnd
turbine sees a reduction in stagnation pressure.

Neglecting losses, the power, P, pre+.ided by a wind turbine is equal to the rate at which the
