Question

Is Kutta-Joukowski theorem is fundamental theorem of aerodynamics?

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in class test.

My question is taken from The Kutta-Joukowski Theorem topic in portion Inviscid & Incompressible Flow of Aerodynamics

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) True

The best I can explain: The Kutta-Joukowski theorem is a fundamental theorem of aerodynamics, this can be used for calculating of lift of an airfoil, or of any two-dimensional bodies including circular cylinders translating in a uniform fluid at a constant speed large enough so, that the flow seen in the body is fixed frame is steady and unseparated.
