    0:00 - 0:30. Introduction to Drag (What is drag ?)
    0:50 - 1:05. Why is drag an unwanted force ?
    1:30 - 2: 18 How is drag generated ? and formula for calculation of drag
    2:19 - 2:31 Components of Drag force (Pressure drag and Friction drag )
    2:32 - 3:19 Pressure drag in detail
    3:20 - 4:47 Flow separation in detail
    4:48 - 5:00 Why do golf balls have dimples?
    ( Dimples increase turbulence and hence reduce flow separation. Reduced flow separation means less "pressure drag" and so the ball travels large distance).
    5:01 - 7:15 Turbulence and its effects on Pressure drag and friction drag
    7:17 : 8:05 Ridges on shark skin as bio inspired solution to reduce friction drag.
    8:07 - 9:31 Effect of geometry and the orientation on Total drag.
    9:32 : 9 :51 Quantification of drag force through integral approach.
    9:52 Simplified formula for drag force.

    The most intuitive and real physical explanation of all aerodynamic forces I can think of - is modification of static atmospheric pressure around an object due to air movement. Atmospheric pressure is defined by random bombardment of air molecules as per the kinetic theory of gases; this randomness is changed by the macroscopic air movement. As a result the pressure is modified around the object creating forces that we're labelling as drag and lift.

  • @alexanderunguez9633
    @alexanderunguez9633 3 года назад +5

    I really enjoyed that you pointed out that pressure drag becomes more significant for blunt objects and friction drag becomes more significant for thin structures(and pipes I should add). This is something that isn't specifically mentioned in a lot of literature, but is an important intuition.

      Fluid mechanics is a deep subject. I feel like telling all businesses, employers and companies in America I have been totally psychologically destroyed. All people around me are perfect, and have perfectly economically secure lives. I feel miserable about not having a vehicle as well. My life feels about being isolated in total disempowerment. Do I need to see a psychiatrist to find out why I am isolated failure in America and among my relatives. I feel so bad every day, I want to get away from this location and be around some people that cannot torment me with failure.

    Theres always that missing piece of a puzzle. And for the study of fluid dynamics, I have no idea if humanity will keep unlocking all the secrets of the universe regarding this. I remember from a professor that told that a lot of these constants are found experimentally. I wonder if someday humanity can fully understand how these things are to a point where experimentation wont even be needed

      A fun application of the terminal velocity is using a ping pong ball to determine altitude. To see whose rocket goes the highest, you eject a ping pong ball and time how long it takes to get to the ground.

      He is right because stress is proportional to dv/dy, so turbulent is steeper in reference to the y axis

    • @TheEfficientEngineer
      @TheEfficientEngineer  4 года назад

      Yes Pedro is correct. By steepness I'm talking about how quickly the velocity changes as you move away from the surface. The change in velocity is more gradual for the laminar profile, and so the shear stress is lower.

    • @arkitkabir6950
      @arkitkabir6950 4 года назад

      For turbulent flow although velocity gradient is high and flow is unsteady, when we take statistical average it generally provides uniform profile unlike laminar where it gradually increases. Hence above velocity profile is correct.

    I would recommend a brief explanation of Reynolds number. It is the ratio of the inertia forces to the viscous forces. A simple example is fill a coffee cup full of water. Very slowly tilt the cup. The water will run over the lip and down the side of the cup. This is because the viscous forces are keeping the water attached to the cup. No tilt the cup more until the water flows out of the cup and into a stream away from the cup. Now the inertia forces are dominate. Having said that, I found the video to be quite informative and accurate. (As an aerodynamicist I designed airplanes for nearly 40 years, mostly commercial but a few others tossed in for good measure and professional stimulation)

    From what I've read, shark-like roughness won't be advantageous for planes but mostly for boats and similar bluffer bodies, since the most of the gain comes from moving the curve Cd/Re in a way that makes the Cd to fall in the critical pit (the lower pit in the plot). Planes are obviously surrounded by a fully turbulent flow, so this would not be possible. It's the reason why golf balls have bumps while smaller/bigger balls are flat. Very nice video!

    • @dougball328
      @dougball328 Год назад

      Riblets are another means of reducing turbulent friction drag. Riblets are microridges running in the direction of the local flow. The flow tends to sit on top of the ridges - the drag is reduced because the flow is not 'touching' the full wetted surface of the wehicle. As the video suggested, implementation is the issue - as well as how to maintain the integrity of the surface.
