A novel approach to calculating induced drag from computational fluid dynamics

Early aerodynamic mathematical methods rely on potential flow concepts that formally isolate aerodynamic drag into a profile and an induced drag component. The more recent evolution of Navier–Stokes-based Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods typically directly computes aerodynamic forces. It d...
