Question

Is initial distribution is given by solid curves?

(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me in unit test.

Question is from Modern Low Speed Airfoils topic in section Incompressible Flow over Airfoils of Aerodynamics

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) True

The explanation is: The optimization technique is iterative and requires starting with a pressure distribution that is not the desired, specified one, the initial distribution is given by the solid curves and the airfoil shapes appears distorted because an expanded scale is used for the ordinate.
