Pressure and Friction Drag II

Hydromechanics VVR090

Drag and Lift General Observations I

Inconvenient to separate between pressure and frictional drag.

Total drag force is taken to be the sum of : drag in a two-dimensional flow (profile drag) drag produced by end effects (induced drag)

Induced drag is related to the lift force. No lift force no induced drag.

Drag and Lift General Observations II

Pressure drag depends on the pressure distribution around the body and the size of the separation zone. Large zone of separation large drag force

The location of separation points decisive for the magnitude of the pressure drag . Such locations are determined by: body shape body roughness flow conditions

Flow Separation
Boundary layer growth starts in the stagnation point. In the phase of acceleration the boundary layer is stable, whereas during deceleration an unfavorable pressure gradient develops that leads to separation.

Vortex Shedding
Under certain conditions vortices are generated from the edges of a body in a flow. Von Karmans vortex street

If 6 < Re < 5000, regular vortex sheeding may occur at a frequency n determined by Strouhals number:

S=

nd Vo

(S = 0.21 over a wide range of Re)

Vincent Strouhal Periodic vortex shedding may lead to transversal forces on structures (e.g., pipes, chimneys, bridges) resulting in vibration and possible structural damages.

If is close to the natural frequency of the structure, large effects are expected.
