Mathematical theories of lift Mathematical theories of lift are based on continuum fluid mechanics, assuming that air flows as a continuous fluid.Batchelor (1967), Section 1.2Thwaites (1958), Section I.2von Mises (1959), Section I.1 Lift is generated in accordance with the fundamental principles of physics, the most relevant being the following three principles:"Analysis of fluid flow is typically presented to engineering students in terms of three fundamental principles: conservation of mass, conservation of momentum, and conservation of energy." Charles N. Eastlake An Aerodynamicist's View of Lift, Bernoulli, and Newton The Physics Teacher Vol. 40, March 2002 Conservation of momentum, which is a consequence of Newton's laws of motion, especially Newton's second law which relates the net force on an element of air to its rate of momentum change, Conservation of mass, including the assumption that the airfoil's surface is impermeable for the air flowing around, and Conservation of energy, which says that energy is neither created nor destroyed.
