Help Newtonian mechanics and Bernoulli/Venturi effect in generating lift

SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on calculating lift in fixed-wing flight by separating the contributions from Newton's laws and the Bernoulli effect. The user suggests using the wing area (A) and air pressure (P = 1/3 ρv²) to compute lift based on Newton's model. The complexities of calculating lift via the Bernoulli effect are acknowledged, indicating that both methods present significant challenges when approached from first principles.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newton's laws of motion
  • Familiarity with the Bernoulli principle
  • Knowledge of fluid dynamics
  • Basic aerodynamics concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the application of Newton's laws in aerodynamics
  • Study the Bernoulli equation and its implications for lift generation
  • Explore computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools for lift analysis
  • Learn about the relationship between wing shape and lift generation
USEFUL FOR

Aerodynamics engineers, physics students, and aviation enthusiasts interested in the principles of lift generation in fixed-wing aircraft.

Hello, this question is about lift in fixed wing flight (airplanes).

Is it possible to calculate separately the lift generated by:
- Newton's laws (wings deflecting air particles)
- Bernoulli effect (difference in air pressure above and below the wings caused by the shape of the wings(?))

Any suggestions on how to do this?

this is just a suggestion

in Newton's model use the wing area A and the air pressure P=1/3 [tex]\rho[/tex] v2 to calculate lifting force f=PA

for Bernoulli it's more complicated.
 
If you mean calculate from scratch, both are extremely difficult.
