Summary[edit]

Description
English: According to the Helmholtz theorems, any span-wise change in lift (and consequently in circulation) causes the shedding of a trailing vortex. The strength of that vortex is equal to the difference of the circulations left and right of the considered element. Part of a series of illustrations meant to illustrate the lifting-line theory.
