Drag equation • Area? • For symmetrical shapes = Projected area facing the flow


Drag – General Observations Pressure drag depends on the pressure distribution around the body and therefore on the size of the separation zone. Large zone of separation Small zone of separation large drag force small drag force The location of separation points are decisive for the magnitude of the pressure drag. Such locations are determined by: • body shape • body roughness • flow conditions

Flow around Golf Ball I) Smooth surface Laminar boundary layer II) Surface with ”dimples” creates Turbulent boundary layer, which has stronger mixing ”Stronger” boundary layer Separation pt moves downstream => Smaller zone of separation and resulting drag force

Laminar and Turbulent Boundary Layers Ideal fluid symmetric flow Laminar conditions flow separation Turbulent conditions – separation point shifts position downstream

Stagnation • • Acceleration Decreasing pressure Friction Boundary layer stable • • Deceleration Increasing pressure Friction Boundary layer grows, decelerate, and reverses

Flow around Sphere Flow separation point Trip wire Flow separation point with trip wire

3. Drag Coefficients for Different Shapes Drag coefficient depends on Re and geometry (sphere, disk, streamlined body). Transition to turbulent boundary layer Cd Re = Vdρ/ μ Laminar flow Little variation with Re No separation

4. Drag Coefficient for sphere in Laminar Flow / Stokes Law Stokes derived the drag force for laminar conditions (viscous forces dominate): (eq. 1) General formulation of Drag force: (eq. 2) Equivalence [ eq. 1 and 2] yields: (eq. 3) George Stokes

With cross-sectional area: Cd (eq. 4) (eq. 3) Combine eq. 3 and eq. 4 and Solve for drag coefficient: Re = Vdρ/ μ Stokes equation valid for Re < 1

5. Vortex Shedding Under certain conditions vortices are generated from the edges of a body in a flow. Von Karman’s vortex street Theodore Von Karman Vortex street behind a cylinder

Regular vortex shedding may occur at a frequency n determined by Strouhal’s number: where n = frequency of vortex shedding d = typical length (diameter) V 0 = velocity (S = 0. 21 over a wide range of Re) Vincent Strouhal Periodic vortex shedding may lead to transversal forces on structures (e. g. , pipes, chimneys, bridges) resulting in vibration and possible structural damages. If it is close to the natural frequency of the structure, large effects are expected.

1. Boundar Layer (BL) on a Flat Plate V 0 = free stream velocity (m/s) δ = boundary layer thickness (m) Fig. 13. 6 Boundary layer: the zone in which the velocity profile is governed by frictional action

Boundary layer characterized by two Reynold’s numbers: V 0 = free stream velocity (m/s) δ = boundary layer thickness (m) Different R Different ranges for flow regimes (in boundary layer): (Uo = V 0)

Laminar and turbulent boundary layers • Laminar boundary layer = flow is in layers • Small Re • Exchange of mass and momentum only between adjacent layers • Viscosity can predict shear stress • Turbulent boundary layer = mixing of layers • Large Re • Exchange of mass and momentum across layers

Laminar and turbulent boundary layers Height from object surface Different velocity profiles • Affects shear stress & heat transfer Velocity along object

Von Karman momentum integral equation • Apply momentum equation for control volume ABCD. • Height of control volume extends beyond the edge of the boundary layer (to the outer flow). • At edge of the boundary layer: po(x), Vo(x) (known). • Small curvature along body.
