Assertion (A): The Kutta condition determines the lift of an airfoil in inviscid theory.

Reason (R): Viscosity plays no part whatever in establishing the circulation.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.A is false but R is true
  • B.A is true but R is false
  • C.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • D.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer: B

The first statement is true, but the second is false: it is viscosity acting at the sharp trailing edge during the starting process that establishes the circulation in the first place. The Kutta condition is an inviscid statement of a viscous outcome.
