Analysis of Viscous flow and flow separation.
Quoting from Chris Carpenter’s (in my humble opinion) excellent book Flightwise 1:
“Unfortunately viscous flow and flow separation are not amenable to neat elegant mathematical treatment in the way that ideal flow is. We must therefore rely substantially on experience and experimental evidence.”
Given advances in mathematics (?) and computational power is this still the case?
PS- I don’t belong to any of the groups the forum is primarily aimed at…just an interested bystander.
PPS-Please don’t make the mistake that I know much/anything. The above book has made me realise that I should have paid WAY MORE attention in my maths and physics lessons than I actually did.
