Q

drag

A

force created by the dynamic action of a fluid that acts in the direction of the force stream fluid flow
-resistance force as an object passes through it

Q

skin drag aka surface drag

A

1) velocity of fluid passing over object
2) velocity of object moving through fluid
3) smoothness of object

Q

wave drag

A

-front edge meets water
influenced by:
-up and down motion
-relative velocity of fluid
-relative velocity of object
-surface area coming in contact

Q

lift force

A

Bernoulli’s principle
-downward and upward force
-perpendicular to fluid flow
influences:
-angle of attack (airplane speeds up, tilt)
-coefficient of lift
-velocity
-area
-fluid density
-lift/drag ratio

Q

Magnus effect

A

-spin
-top and back spin
-side spin
*backspin lift force due to spin
