# Title: Wingtip vortices behind a rectangular NACA 2414 wing
#
# Description:
#
# According to Wikipedia
# \url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingtip_vortices}{`Wingtip
# vortices'} \begin{quotation}are tubes of circulating air which are
# left behind a wing as it generates lift. One wingtip vortex
# trails from the tip of each wing. The cores of vortices spin at very
# high speed and are regions of very low pressure.\end{quotation}
#
# Vortex-lines cannot end in fluid (Milne-Thomson \cite{milne1973} 1973, p. 168); in
# three dimensions, the starting vortex shed by the trailing edge on
# take-off remains joined to the wing by counterrotating wingtip
# vortices, which are associated with the escape of air from the
# underside to above via the wingtips, following the negative pressure
# difference from below to above which must be present if the wing is
# generating lift.
#
# This vortex-line consisting of the starting vortex and pair of
# wingtip vortices is notionally continued and closed by the `bound
# vortex' inside the wing, associated with the circulation around the
# wing, and proportional to its lift in accordance with the
# Kutta--Joukowsky theorem.
#
# As the flow over the wing evolves from start-up to steady-state, the
# starting vortex recedes and the wing-tip vortices extend back to
# infinity. For sketches of this `horseshoe vortex' system (Glauert
# \cite{glauert1926} p. 130; Milne-Thompson \cite{milne1973} p. 172),
# see, e.g. Glauert (\cite{glauert1926} Figure 80, p. 131), Hanson
# \cite{hanson1970} (1970, Figure 2, p. 268) or Milne-Thomson
# \cite{milne1973} (1973, Figure 10-41, p. 186).
