    The document discusses the differences between the flow around an airfoil and a true wing. For an airfoil, the flow is two-dimensional, characterized by lift and drag coefficients. However, for a real wing the flow is three-dimensional, characterized by lift and drag. Real wings have a finite extent and variations in wing sections along the span, resulting in spanwise flow around the wing tips known as leakage flow. This creates trailing vortices, known as tip vortices, and a downwash flow with a vertical component below the wing.

    The flow over finite wings


    In what respect is the flow around a true wingdifferent from an airfoil (an
    ‘infinite’ wing)?

    Airfoil : 2D flow (c l , c d )
    Real Wing: 3D flow (CL , CD)
    (1) finite extent
    (2) variation of sections along the wing
    span

    • spanwise flow component due to


    ‘leakage’ flow around the tips
