Assumptions
These are the various assumptions that go into developing potential flow panel methods:
- Inviscid
- Incompressible
- Irrotational
- Steady
However, the incompressible flow assumption may be removed from the potential flow derivation leaving:
- Potential Flow (inviscid, irrotational, steady)

Famous quotes containing the word assumptions:
“Why did he think adding meant increase?
To me it was dilution. Where do these
Innate assumptions come from?”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“What a man believes may be ascertained, not from his creed, but from the assumptions on which he habitually acts.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Assumptions of male superiority are as widespread and deep rooted and every bit as crippling to the woman as the assumptions of white supremacy are to the Negro.... this is no more a man’s world than it is a white world.”
