Circulation Theory

Circulation Theory is a theoretical framework in subsonic and low-speed aerodynamics that explains the generation of lift in inviscid flows by quantifying the line integral of velocity around a closed contour enclosing an airfoil, thereby linking vortex dynamics to aerodynamic force production.
