The downwash along the wing in the downward direction in Prandtl’s lifting line theory comes from______

A)
Free vortex
B)
Bound vortex
C)
Trailing vortices
D)
Horseshoe vortex

Correct Answer :   Trailing vortices


Explanation : The bound vortex does not induce any velocity along itself. The downwash along the bound vortex (wing) comes from the two trailing vortices. Thus, horseshoe is also an incorrect option.
