William Fraser over on YouTube has a video[1] on aerodynamic lift which I found interesting.

In it he briefly touches on the equal transit time explanation, and how the steady-state snapsot presented doesn't really have enough information to tell how the flow field developed.

He's been writing a particle-based simulator which he wants to use to show how lift develops from that perspective[2], still a work in progress.

Just sharing as I found them interesting and cleared up some confusions I had.
