Which of the following is not correct for symmetric airfoil according to the fundamental equation of thin airfoil in transformed coordinates?(a) 0≤θ≤π(b) \(\frac {dz}{dx}\)=0(c) ξ=\(\frac {c}{2}\)(1-cosθ)(d) γ(θ)=0I had been asked this question in unit test.My doubt stems from The Symmetric Airfoil topic in chapter Incompressible Flow over Airfoils of Aerodynamics

Answer»

The correct OPTION is (d) γ(θ)=0

Best explanation: The transformation for thin AIRFOIL theory uses ξ=\(\frac {c}{2}\)(1-cosθ) to make the COORDINATE transformation, where 0≤θ≤π. For a SYMMETRICAL airfoil (\(\frac {dz}{dx}\)=0), while γ(θ)=0 is not true for all VALUES of θ.
