Select the incorrect statement for an inviscid flow.
A) The drag on a body in an inviscid flow is zero
B) The lift on a streamlined body can be approximated by neglecting viscous effects
C) The velocity distribution in the wake of a body can be approximated by neglecting viscous effects
D) The normal velocity component at the boundary of a body in an inviscid flow is zero

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The velocity distribution in the wake of a body can be approximated by neglecting
viscous effects
Viscous effects are responsible for the velocity distribution in the wake region. We
have not attempted to approximate the velocity distribution in the wake of a body.
That is beyond the scope of an introductory or even an intermediate fluids course.
