    Can drag pull fluid out of a tube by its force via an airstream brushing the tube's mouth, going "outward"?

    @upanddown7911 7 лет назад +1

    thank you Sir,I have a few questions:
    is the fluid still or kinetic,If the fluid is kinetic what should we do?the case will be more complicated I think,the fluid is moving, there are three conditions for sphere,1.floating on the surface of the fluid, 2.Submerged in the fluid but not at the bottom,3. on the bottom,so for these three cases,how to proceed to motion and force analysis?

    I have a question regarding the formula used to calculate the drag force in this video. From a previous video about the Stoke's law, the equation used to calculate drag force of a sphere is FD=6πμRv, whereas is shown as a different equation in this one. Why are there different exponents of v in the two equations? Are they referring to the same concept? Thanks.

    Hey could you help me please I want to calculate Cx and Cz (drag and lift coefficient) of a 46m/s wind speed at an inclined panel with 30° incidence angle the force should be daN/m² or we could calculate the Drag and lift force on a panel of a 1.7x1 = 1.7m² area. SEARCHING SINCE A WEEK BUT NOTHING FOUND ON INTERNET. MECAFLUX software GIVES An automatic RESULT BUT I couldn't calculate manually.

    These Drag coefficients are also strongly Reynolds number related, aren't they? In the case shown it could be 10^4. Might be worth mentioning

    • @MichelvanBiezen

      Drag force exist whenever the object is moving and the direction of the drag force will be opposite to the direction of motion.

    • @MichelvanBiezen
      @MichelvanBiezen  4 года назад

      Drag coefficients are typically experimentally determined.

  • @beargillium2369
    @beargillium2369 2 года назад +1

    Doesn't the coefficient depend on the orientation of the object? It's not clear in which direction the drawn shapes are moving... Is it downward of left to right or right to left? Won't objects like the half sphere or the cone or any object automatically take on the lowest coefficient? Sorry I started writing this before the end of the video; hopefully it's all explained later!

    • @MichelvanBiezen
      @MichelvanBiezen  2 года назад +1

      Yes, you are correct, it does depend on the orientation. when these experiments are done to determine the coefficients, the orientation is controlled.

But i am confused as to how to find the time taken by the object to reach its terminal velocity. Can anyone please help me or at least suggest a place where i can find my answer?

    sir what is the difference between the viscous force and the drag force ?

    • @MichelvanBiezen
      @MichelvanBiezen  7 лет назад +2

      They are off course related, but there is a distinction. The viscous force is caused by the "friction forces" between the fluid molecules. (the more the molecules are attracted to one another the greater the viscosity). The drag forces are caused by an object moving through a fluid and it depends on the velocity and the shape of the object.

    @ryanstanley5734 7 лет назад +1

    I'm 14, so I'm going to get easily confused, but how do you work out the drag coefficient that relates to the shape? For example, how can you work that a cube has 1.05 drag coefficient?
    By the way, I'm trying to find out about acceleration and lengths objects get over time, with other forces pushing against the acceleration. I would like to easily be able to answer a question like this: a man is 350m high. He drops a cube made of pure copper. The cube is 64cm squared. (I'm guessing you can work out the mass and density of the cube) the density of the air is 1.2kg/m cubed. How long will it take for the object to hit the ground, keeping in mind that the gravitational acceleration is 9.8m/s squared. I think this is enough data.

      S=ut + 0.5at^2
      Since u=0 at start, the equation can simply be written as, s=0.5gt^2. Where "s" represents displacement.
      Use this formula to get your answer. Most of your given data is useless in thks calculation i guess.

    suddenly got here after watching some One Piece videos lol. I absolutely know nothing abt this but it's interesting. So here's a noob question on a "logical" sense of mine.. Why do the cone shape got higher drag coefficient than the half-sphere ? I mean.. it's pointier than the half-sphere and the half sphere surface is wider. Does the rear shape affects how great can it slice through fluid ? sorry if this ticks off anybody lol just curious

    • @MichelvanBiezen
      @MichelvanBiezen  7 лет назад

      That is a really good question. Understanding the drag on objects is very complicated. It is usually easier to place an object in a wind tunnel and look at the results, rather than trying to calculate it. It turns out that the drag on an object has a lot to do with the shape of the back. Note how cars that are very fuel efficient do have an abrupt square back, to reduce drag.

    • @adjest6388

      Kawasaki Nerd - If I may add an engineering perspective... First, I consider Mr. van Biezen to be one of the very best instructors, ever. Now, sometimes engineering must make practical compromises that do not adhere to theoretical optimums. The back end of cars must be crash - worthy (with bumpers) and accommodate cargo (in trunks). But notice that solar-powered cars in research competitions are often shaped like a manta ray, tapered to a thin edge in back. The goal is to reduce energy-stealing induced drag caused by vortices at the rear of a vehicle. There are a few tractor-trailer rigs on the road now that have a huge, rounded fiberglass fairing above the bumper that covers the rear doors of the trailer. Apparently the fairing expense was justifiable, given the huge, flat trailing surface (perpendicular to vehicle direction). In general, a dolphin shape is a very good one to imitate (to the extent possible).
