    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.
    9:53 - 10:11 The drag coefficient and how it's calculated.
    10:22 - 10:36 The reference area (Emphasis on the selection of Area.)
    10:37-12 :25 Re Vs Cd and arriving at stokes law.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Fluid Mechanics
    All I learned from my previous study were solving maths problems only, my lecturer didn't explain the real examples such as golf ball, aeroplane wings, shark skin, etc
    and they are still getting high paid, Respect!!!
    That is why my country always poor, because they fail to educate and the cycle goes on.

    • @dougball328

      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.

  • @dougball328
    @dougball328 Год назад

    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)

  • @giovanniluddeni663
    @giovanniluddeni663 3 года назад +1

    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.

  • @monishreddy1797
    @monishreddy1797 3 года назад

    I watched this video more than five times completely, and each time I watch it, i understood this video better
    When i first watched it I had doubts like why turbulent flow delays boundary layer separation..why does flow separation cause dictate drag force..and how majestic is the graph at 11:44 I believe when I come back later, I would understand this video better.

    Lift induced drag simplified: Downwash tilts lift vector slightly backwards, lift vector backwards means that the lift is not only pulling upwards at the aircraft, but also backwards, which mimics drag. Downwash is caused by the shape of the airfoil and also caused or amplified by vortices.

    • @dougball328
      @dougball328 Год назад

      Downwash is not caused by the shape of the airfoil. It is the result of the circulation generated to produce lift. L=rho* V*gamma) where gamma is the circulation strength.

  • @dougball328
    @dougball328 Год назад

    The Efficient Engineer alluded to asymmetric vortex shedding leading to instability but never went any further (at least not in this video) A good example of this is the baseball knuckleball. A pitcher throw the ball trying to not spin it. By not spinning, the laces do not trip the boundary layer. The flow separates somewhere on the ball and this sheds a vortex and causes a force imbalance. This shedding moves around the ball, the forces change and push in different directions, and thus the ball's flight path is erratic. The curve ball is just the opposite. The pitcher spins the ball rapidly so that the flow goes around one side more than the other. This produces a 'lift' (or sideforce) thus causing the ball to curve.

    • @pedroferrer9436
      @pedroferrer9436 3 года назад

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

    • @TheEfficientEngineer
      @TheEfficientEngineer  3 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 3 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.

  • @carmelpule8493
    @carmelpule8493 2 месяца назад

    If the wing is moving forwards in stationary air space, the drag is the force required to ACCELERATE forwards mass of air near the wing..
    If the air is moving in a wind tunnel with the wing stationary, the drag is the force required to DECELERATE the mass of air near the wing.
    ( parallel to the wing flight path)
    LIFT is created by ACCELERATING the air mass particles downwards ( orthogonal to the wing flight path) using compression effects below the wing and a partial vacuum effect above the wing.
