Question

Modeling these devices with a horseshoe vortex inaccurately implies there is uniform circulation. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name these devices that have positive camber if their top end is more curved than the bottom. The effectiveness of these devices decreases if their angle of attack is too high.
ANSWER: aerofoils [or airfoils or airplane wings; prompt on airplanes]
[10e] During a stall, the aerofoil’s coefficient of this force drops precipitously. The Bernoulli principle explains how this force is generated by a pressure difference on both sides of an airplane wing.
ANSWER: lift [accept lift coefficient]
[10h] The lift on an aerofoil equals circulation times rho-infinity v-infinity, per a theorem named for this man and Nikolai Joukowski. This man is the second namesake of a fourth-order method of solving ODEs that incorporates the initial, final, and two midpoint slopes.
ANSWER: Martin Kutta [accept Kutta–Joukowski theorem or fourth-order Runge–Kutta methods]
