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?
Is there some literature on this point?
The discussion revolves around the derivation of the Kutta Joukowski condition from the Navier-Stokes equations, particularly in the context of vanishing viscosity. Participants explore the theoretical underpinnings and implications of this condition in fluid dynamics, referencing literature and related concepts.
Participants express differing views on the derivation and implications of the Kutta Joukowski condition, with no consensus reached on the specific methods or interpretations discussed.
The discussion touches on complex concepts such as weak solutions, entropy production, and the behavior of velocity in inviscid versus viscous flows, which may require further clarification and exploration of assumptions involved.
