EstablishingFrictiona vortexVortex-like flow about an airfoilAirfoil or wing requires the air to experience forces where adjacent elements of air share information about what the surfaces try to impose on the flow. The mechanism is shearShear and the finite viscosityViscosity of the air is a measure of the phenomena involved. The reality of viscous shearShear is what must distinguish the shapes of a wing’s leading and trailing edgesTrailing edge.
