Aerodynamics Practice Test: Flow over Airfoils over Finite Wing
Fast practice, instant feedback. Timer auto-submits when time’s up.
Avg score: 3% Most missed: “The incorrect choice for the general lift distribution for a finite wing is ____…”
Flow over Airfoils over Finite Wing topics include: Downwash and induced drag, vortex filament, biot savart law, helmholtz theorem, prandtl’s classical lifting line and lifting surface theory. Flow over a finite wing is three-dimensional, while flow over an airfoil is two-dimensional. The flow tends to leak around the wing tips, creating a trailing vortex at each tip.  The flow over the wing creates a circulatory motion that trails downstream. This motion creates wing-tip vortices that induce a small downward component of air velocity. This downward component is called downwash. The... Show more
