The defining assumption for finding the skin- friction drag on an airfoil is____(a) Airfoil is new low-speed airfoil(b) Skin- friction acts due to shear force(c) Airfoil has a zero angle of attack(d) Airfoil is considered a flat plate at zero angle of attackThe question was asked by my school principal while I was bunking the class.I would like to ask this question from Laminar Flow topic in portion Incompressible Flow over Airfoils of Aerodynamics

Answer» RIGHT choice is (d) Airfoil is considered a flat plate at ZERO angle of attack

Easiest explanation: The ESSENTIAL ASSUMPTION made for finding skin- friction drag on the airfoil is that it is considered as a flat plate with zero angle of attack.It need not be low-speed airfoil only. Skin friction is caused by SHEAR force and it is not an assumption.
