No fluid actually has zero viscosity and the Paradox is not applicable to
any real fluid. Viscosity has a twofold effect: It causes tangential forces creating
so-called friction drag, and it modifies the pressure distribution, whose resultant
is no longer equal to zero. The latter effect, which for fluids with low viscosity is
generally more important than the former, generates the lift, the side force and
the pressure drag. The direct effects of viscosity (i.e. the tangential forces) can
usually be neglected, while the modifications of the aerodynamic field must be
accounted for.
