About the equation $\frac {d^2} {dt^2}\vec x(t) = \nabla \times \vec F(x(t))$. Motion in a curl vector field
I was wondering if there is a physical interpretation of ODEs of the form
$$\frac d{dt}\vec x(t)=\vec y(t)$$
$$ \frac d{dt} \vec y(t) = \nabla \times \vec F(x(t))$$
(or equivalently $\frac {d^2} {dt^2}...

Do all Joukowski aerofoils violate no-penetration condition at trailing edge?
In our fluids course we calculated the velocity distribution around a completely symmetric Joukowski aerofoil (as shown below) and used the Kutta condition to ensure that the velocity was not infinite ...
