Aerodynamics

a method that estimates the extra lift from leading-edge vortices on delta wings by equating it to the lost potential-flow leading-edge suction force.

In aerodynamics, leading-edge suction analogy refers to a method that estimates the extra lift from leading-edge vortices on delta wings by equating it to the lost potential-flow leading-edge suction force. This meaning comes from Polhamus (1971) in Journal of Aircraft.[1]
