Is vortex filament cannot begin or terminate in the air?(a) True(b) FalseI have been asked this question in my homework.This intriguing question originated from Prandtl’s Classical Lifting-Line Theory in section Flow over Airfoils over Finite Wing of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Correct option is (a) True

Explanation: The vortex filament cannot BEGIN or TERMINATE in the air, as such, any span wise change in lift can be modeled as the shedding of a vortex filament down the flow, BEHIND the wing. This shed vortex, hose strength is the derivative of the LOCAL wing.
