Question

Newtonian theory is more accurate for two – dimensional bodies than three – dimensional bodies.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me in an interview.

My query is from Newtonian Theory topic in portion Numerical Techniques for Nonlinear Supersonic Flow, Elements of Hypersonic Flow, Couette and Poiseuille Flow of Aerodynamics

Answer 1

Correct choice is (b) False

The explanation is: One of the conclusions derived from Newtonian theory is that the result of coefficient of pressure is more accurate for three – dimensional bodies such as the cone compared to the two – dimensional bodies such as a wedge.
