Real cause: global flow field and pressure distribution
Incorrect belief that induced drag is caused by wake vorticity
Issues: Focusing only on surface interactions, neglecting broader flow impacts
Issues: Incorrect assumptions and lack of direct physical reasons
Open floor for questions and discussion
Brief mention of topics not covered due to time constraints
Reference to the speaker's book for detailed explanations
Importance of correct understanding in fluid dynamics and aerodynamics
Pressure reactions on the ground
Larry Wigton's contributions: No net downward momentum in the atmosphere
Misunderstandings about momentum in the atmosphere
Classical approaches vs. recent insights
Example: Drag due to lift in 3D
Misconceptions about vorticity causing remote velocity changes
Biot-Savart law: mathematical tool, not physical cause
Need for a comprehensive explanation combining Bernoulli and Newton approaches
Downward turning explanations: Airfoil shape and angle of attack
Bernoulli-based explanations: longer path length and stream tube pinching
Popular but insufficient explanations of lift
True explanations require understanding the dynamics (forces and accelerations)
Newton's third law concerns forces, not motion
Examples from Smithsonian and NASA websites
Incorrect applications in explaining propulsion and lift
Interaction of fluid with solid surfaces: no slip and no jump in temperature conditions
Explanation of forces: surface forces (pressure and viscous shear stress) and neglecting body forces (e.g., gravity)
Key concepts: velocity as a continuous vector field, kinematic rules, and Navier-Stokes equations
Fluid flows as if it were a continuous material
Focus on continuum fluid mechanics
Potential coverage of boundary layer separation in 3D and pressure drag
Impact of lift on atmospheric motion
Exploration of vorticity and the Biot-Savart law
