An informal introduction to basic concepts of aerodynamics: part I: incompressible two-dimensional flows
by M. Hafez
International Journal of Aerodynamics (IJAD), Vol. 3, No. 4, 2013

Abstract: The main concepts to understand and to evaluate aerodynamic forces and moments are examined using as simple mathematical tools as possible. The lifting and thickness problems for 2-D incompressible flows are discussed. In particular, Magnus effect in flow over a rotating cylinder is analysed together with Joukowski transformation and Joukowski airfoils. Viscous effects are also briefly examined.
