Mar 24, 2020 at 17:01 comment added JZYL @Konrad Circulation is the cause of lift generation. Bound vortex, or systems of bound vortices are models used to generate the corresponding circulation.
Mar 24, 2020 at 16:03 comment added Konrad Thank you, one last question. Is the bound vortex a cause of lift generation? Because if we assume it as an airflow around a wing, so logickly no airflow around the wing means no lift
Mar 24, 2020 at 13:27 comment added JZYL @Konrad Re your sec question: it depends on the fidelity of your modeling as mentioned in the post. If it's a lifting line, then the flow field from the circulation would only be very approximate, but good enough for lift estimation. If it's lifting sheet, then it gets better. If it's lifting surface, then even better.
Mar 24, 2020 at 13:22 comment added JZYL @Konrad Second last paragraph: "Note that trailing vortices would be parallel to the said loop and will not partake in the circulation."
Mar 24, 2020 at 13:04 comment added Konrad And is bound vortex equivalent tu flow over and under the wing if we ommit vortices that leave the wing (tip vortices and starting vortex)?
Mar 24, 2020 at 12:51 comment added Konrad Okey, thank you! But on your picture you replaced lift vector by bound vortices, and the lift equation from KJ theorem that you pasted include circulation. Is this circulation just bound bortex or whole circulation - bound vortex and tip vortices? And is bound vortex the cause of lift, no bound vortex, no lift?
