Question 3. If the three birds described in
question 2 are arranged in a V-formation with the
middle bird flying at a distance d ahead of the
others, the combined vortex system may be
represented by a broken vortex line of strength T
as shown in the sketch. Defining r=d/b,
Find the midspan downwash at bird M as a
function of r in the form w,,(r)= f(r)
Plot f(r) to obtain the following figure. How do
you interpret the graph!
