Understanding Aerodynamic Drag
Drag and lift are the forces which act on a body moving through a fluid, or on a stationary object in a flowing fluid. We ...
Aerodynamic force measurement is crucial in the development and testing of high-speed vehicles, particularly in hypersonic wind tunnels. These facilities simulate the extreme conditions that ...
Don't be thrown off by the 'aero' part of the term, as aerodynamics involves anything that moves within a given atmosphere.
“Externally mounted sensors significantly increase aerodynamic drag, particularly by increasing the proportion of interference drag within the total aerodynamic drag,” study author Yiping Wang said.
The aerodynamic forces generated by trains travelling at high speed can result in car body vibration, snow build-up on bogies and flying ballast, as well as pressure waves in tunnels. Sanetoshi Saito* ...
The U.S. Air Force tests 3D-printed Microvane drag-reduction technology on the C-17 Globemaster III, cutting fuel consumption ...
A surprisingly simple tweak is making a venerable military transport aircraft more efficient. Literally gluing a few ...
Averee Dovsek explains how scuffs and cuts on a golf ball can create unexpected aerodynamic force on the ball. Averee Dovsek Titleist Pro V1, Pro V1x golf balls (2025) ...
Furthermore, the invariant vortex-force theory has been extended to transonic flows, providing a framework for predicting aerodynamic forces and their components, which is essential for the design ...
This video explains how scuffs and cuts on a golf ball can create unexpected aerodynamic force on the ball. Many golfers play a ball that has scuffs on the surface and it limits spin, resulting in an ...
