General circulation distribution along arbitrary finite wing Calculator

he general circulation distribution along an arbitrary finite wing refers to the distribution of circulation (vorticity) along the span of a wing that is not constrained to any specific idealized shape, such as an elliptic or rectangular wing. The circulation distribution provides insights into how lift is generated and distributed across the span of the wing under real-world, non-ideal conditions. In aerodynamics, circulation is a measure of the flow’s rotation around a closed curve, often used to describe the strength of vortices or the formation of lift-producing elements like wing sections. For a finite wing with a general circulation distribution, the circulation strength can vary at different spanwise stations, resulting in a non-uniform lift distribution.

• $\Gamma (\theta )$: Circulation at the spanwise location $\theta$, measured in  (m^2/s).
• Γ0​: Constant factor that determines the strength of the circulation distribution, also measured in (m^2/s).
• $\theta$: Spanwise location or polar angle (in radians) along the wing’s span.
