Question

Newton’s theory gives much more accurate results for 2 – dimensional shapes.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me in unit test.

Asked question is from Time-Marching Technique topic in chapter Time-Marching Technique of Aerodynamics

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) False

The best I can explain: For three – dimensional bodies such as a cone, Newtonian theory is generally more accurate in contrast with two – dimensional bodies like wedge. One more important property to note is that Newton’s theory gets much more accurate with increasing Mach number.
