Mean Local Flow?
Mean Local Flow?
(OP)
Hello,
Can anybody clue me in as to what mean local flow around an airfoil is? I believe it has something to do with the downwash created by the wing...?
Thanks!

Lift can be related to the ciculation around an airfoil (and therefore potential theories can deal with it), while drag can be classified as form (or pressure) drag and friction drag, and usually needs separate treatment, depending on the Reynolds number and wake characteristics.
