Force in the direction of flow exerted by the fluid on the solid is called drag.
a stationary smooth sphere of diameter DP situated in a stream, whose velocity far away from the sphere is uµ to the right. Except at very low velocities, when the flow is entirely laminar, the wake immediately downstream from the sphere is unstable, and turbulent vortices will constantly be shed from various locations round the sphere. Because of turbulence, the pressure on the downstream side of the sphere will never fully recovered to that on the upstream side, and there will be a form drag to the right of the sphere. (For purely laminar flow, the pressure recovery is complete, and the form drag is zero.)
In addition, because of the velocity gradients that exist near the sphere, there will also be a net viscous drag (also called as wall drag) to the right (In potential flow there is no wall drag). The sum of these two effects is known as the (total) drag force, FD. A similar drag occurs for spheres and other objects moving through an otherwise stationary fluid - it is the relative velocity that counts.
The Bernoulli principle says that for an inviscid fluid, an increase in fluid velocity causes a decrease in pressure. For lift producing shapes, the fluid must travel faster over the shape than under which mean the pressure below is higher than above
please rate it up thanks :)
Which one the below is not true for the given figure? the downstream and upstream part...
Hi, I need the full worked solution for parts (ii) and (iii) of this question please :) The final answers to all parts are given below the questions. I do not need the solution to part (i). Thank you for your help! (Would greatly appreciate proper steps with clear handwriting thank you~) Question 5 A ladder of mass m may be modelled as a uniform rod of length a, stands on a rough horizontal surface at A and rests against...
