For an inviscid, incompressible flow over finite wings, D’Alembert’s paradox occurs.(a) True(b) FalseI got this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.This interesting question is from Downwash and Induced Drag in chapter Flow over Airfoils over Finite Wing of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Right ANSWER is (B) False

Explanation: The induced drag is caused by a component of lift which is not vertical. Therefore, even in the absence of skin-friction or FLOW separation, drag is not zero. For a wing, D’Alembert’s paradox does not OCCUR.
