For a fluid initially at rest, the formation of starting vortex implies ______

A)
no lift is produced
B)
generation of lift
C)
generation of circulation
D)
generation of lift and circulation

Correct Answer :   generation of lift and circulation


Explanation : From Kelvin’s Theorem, circulation remains constant with time. So for initial zero circulation, the formation of starting vortex means there has to be equal and opposite circulation in the form of lift.
