Mathematically, what is meant by Kelvin’s Circulation Theorem for an inviscid and incompressible flow? (For the same set of fluid elements moving in a closed curve along with the fluid).

(a) DΓ/Dt = 0

(b) γ1 ≥ Γ2, where 1 is the upstream direction

(c) Γ = -∮C1V.ds

(d) Γ = 0

The question was asked in homework.

The query is from Kelvin’s Circulation Theorem and the Starting Vortex in section Incompressible Flow over Airfoils of Aerodynamics

CORRECT ANSWER is (a) DΓ/Dt = 0

To explain: Kelvin’s theorem states that the time rate of change of circulation for a SET of fluid elements in a closed curve moving along the fluid is zero. In other WORDS, circulation remains CONSTANT, not zero. Γ = -∮C1V.ds is the definition of circulation.
