    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 call these aerodynamic forces (if the fluid is a gas) or hydrodynamic forces (if the fluid is a liquid).
    This video is all about the drag force. There are two main causes of drag - first we have the pressure distribution around the object, which is particularly significant if flow separation occurs. And then we have the shear stresses acting on the object, which are most significant for streamlined bodies.

    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).

    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.

    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.

  • @dougball328
    @dougball328 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    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)

    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
