The d’Alembert’s Paradox is concerned with ____(a) Lift arising due to pressure distribution(b) High viscous effects(c) Drag being zero for non-zero lift(d) Kutta condition not satisfiedThe question was asked in final exam.The doubt is from Viscous Flow in portion Incompressible Flow over Airfoils of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Correct choice is (c) Drag being zero for non-zero LIFT

The explanation: The d’Alembert’s PARADOX arises due to the assumption of an inviscid FLUID. The lift predicted with this assumption is correct but the drag comes out zero. Which is not true as pointed out by EXPERIMENTS or general observation.
