Can the Kutta Joukowski condition be derived from the Navier Stokes equations in the limit of vanishing viskosity?
Is there some literature on this point?

The Kutta Joukowski condition can be derived from the Navier-Stokes equations in the limit of vanishing viscosity, as discussed in the forum. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the Kutta condition, particularly in relation to the frictionless Burgers equation and the generation of entropy at shocks. Key literature includes "Principles of Ideal Flow Gas Dynamics" by Karamcheti, which provides a mathematical foundation for ideal flows. The discussion emphasizes the relationship between minimizing entropy production and achieving correct solutions in inviscid flow scenarios.
PREREQUISITESFluid dynamicists, aerospace engineers, and researchers interested in the mathematical foundations of ideal flows and entropy production in inviscid flow scenarios.
