Using law of conservation to explain theory of lift
Asked by: nine 9585 views Aerodynamics
Can one please explain, in simple terms, how EACH of the laws of conservation (mass, energy and momentum) affect the airflow around the airfoil, thus producing lift?
Citing from FAA's manual:
"The concept of conservation of energy states energy cannot be created or destroyed and the amount of energy entering a system must also exit. A simple tube with a constricted portion near the center of its length illustrates this principle. An example is running water through a garden hose…"
What about the concept on mass and momentum?
