Linearized theory is applicable for transonic regions as well.(a) True(b) FalseI got this question during an online interview.I would like to ask this question from Linearized Subsonic Flow topic in chapter Linearized and Conical Flows of Aerodynamics

Answer»

The correct answer is (b) False

For explanation: According to the PRANDTL – Glauert rule, as the limit of Mach number is increased to one, the aerodynamic FORCES – lift and drag becomes infinity which is PRACTICALLY impossible. Thus, this rule is only APPLICABLE for subsonic and supersonic regimes.

Cl = \(\frac {C_{l0}}{\sqrt {1 – M_∞^{2}}}\), Cd = \(\frac {C_{d0}}{\sqrt {1 – M_∞^{2}}}\)
