  1. fluid dynamics - Lift of an airfoil: viscous vs inviscid results ...

    Dec 2, 2019 · In the inviscid case, there is no drag on the airfoil. This means all of the changes in pressure can be used to do something, like create lift. Note: since there isn't anything other …

  2. classical mechanics - Difference between inviscid and viscous flow ...

    In my lecture notes, I have a load of examples and I want to sort out which egs are viscous flow and which are inviscid flow. It is not always said if the flow is viscous or inviscid. Please can so...

  3. Does irrotational imply inviscid? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Behaving in an inviscid way and actually being inviscid are technically two different things. One could argue that—even though the fluid behaves inviscidly—it is still a viscous flow because …

  4. Bernoulli principle (classic form) in irrotational viscous flow (a ...

    Jun 11, 2024 · We derive the Euler equation for inviscid flow. Then, for irrotational flow, we use the Euler equation to get Bernoulli equation (classic form) and show it holds in the irrotational …

  5. Frictionless and inviscid - Physics Stack Exchange

    Jun 25, 2015 · In the book Fluid Mechanics by Robert A. Granger, there is a study question, 4.10, asking "How can frictionless real fluids exist and inviscid fluids not exist?" Could someone …

  6. fluid dynamics - Bernoulli equation for compressible inviscid flow ...

    Apr 12, 2025 · I am studying compressible flow and I want to derive the compressible inviscid flow Bernoulli equation. The main $3$ equations are: $$\frac {\partial \rho} {\partial t} + \nabla \cdot …

  7. Why is viscosity necessary for lift and drag force to exist?

    May 19, 2025 · For example: if there is a flat plate plate placed at an inclination to the flow of incompressible invicid fluid, the plate will change the direction of flow of the fluid and hence will …

  8. Potential flow over a sphere in circular motion

    Dec 11, 2024 · The potential for a sphere moving in a straight line with a constant velocity U in an incompressible, inviscid and irrotational fluid is given by the following potential: $$ \phi =−U …

  9. fluid dynamics - Does the no-slip boundary condition contradict ...

    Nov 22, 2025 · 0 Imagine inviscid, incompressible steady-state fluid flow around a cylinder like in the diagram below so that it flows around the cylinder symmetrically about the x-axis: …

  10. Fluid Flow and Reynold's number - Physics Stack Exchange

    Aug 24, 2018 · I am assuming that by ideal fluid you mean inviscid fluid. For a flow to be called turbulent, as distinct from a complicated laminar flow, it must possess a few characteristics …
