Researchers show mechanics of how drag on a partially submerged object may be several times greater than drag on a fully submerged object made of the same material. One of the most common and ...
Without the aerodynamic forces of lift and drag, aircraft would be unable to fly, wind turbines would not spin, and countless other machines that we depend on every day would not work. What, exactly, ...
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — One of the most common and practically useful experiments in all of fluid dynamics involves holding an object in air or submerging it fully underwater, exposing ...
