Is starting vortex is essential to generate the lift on an airfoil? Correct Answer True

The shedding of a starting vortex is essential to the generation of lift on an airfoil according to the kelvin’s theorem. Kelvin’s theorem states that after airfoil starts moving, the viscous forces and vorticity will be confined to the thin boundary layer, a thin wake and the rolled-up core of the starting vortex.
