TRANSCRIPT

Page 1: A is the frontal area of projectile facing the flow

FD = ½ CD A ρ v²

• CD coefficient of drag, indicates how streamlined a projectile is (low number:very streamlined)

• A is the frontal area of projectile facing the flow

• ρ (rho) is the air density (less in warm air and at higher altitude)

• v² means if v doubles, drag quadruples

TERMINAL VELOCITY

Vterminal reached when all Fresistive = all Fmotive

as a body falls, it accelerates drag drag as the square of v (v = 4, drag = 16)Vterminal can also be reached horizontally

light body reaches Vterminal --------- than heavier

STREAMLINING• Achieved by:1. decreasing area size facing oncoming airflow2. tapering leading side air not abruptly moved

• Effects of Streamlining:A. more laminar flow past body with less “wake”B. less turbulence behind body less difference in

pressure zones between front and tail of body• see FIG 13.1 on page 432

DRAFTING

For given body & wind v, Headwind has a greater effect than Tailwind on the moving body: (run @ 6mps with 2mps wind: H = 8mps, T = 4mps)

Running @ 1 meter behind = ----% energy savedXC Skiing @ 1 meter behind = ----% energy saved90% of all resistive forces in Cycling are DRAGFIG 13.2 on page 433

FLUID LIFT FORCE on AIRFOILS

FL (Lift Force) always ---------------- to direction of the oncoming air flow

Lift can be ---------, -----------, ------------ due to difference in pressure zones on opposite sides of

projectile Bernoulli’s Principle:

flow v = pressure zone / flow v = p zone

Center of Pressure (CP)

The point on a projectile where the both the Lift and Drag Forces act

changes as the Attack changesCG and CP co-linear = LIFTCG and CP out of line = Torque pitch DragCP in front of CG = Stall leading side pitch up see FIG 13.9 on page 439

MAGNUS EFFECT

Lift due to the spin on a spherical projectile Projectile has a Boundary layer of air that moves

in the direction of the spin Projectile’s Boundary layer of air interfaces with

on coming air flow High and Low pressure zones develop due to

difference in air flow velocities [Bernoulli]

Back Spin Top SpinBottom of ball moving

toward the direction of the ball’s flight

higher flow on top = pressure

lower flow on bottom= pressure

lift UPWARD

Top of the ball moving toward the direction of the ball’s flight

lower flow on top= pressure

higher flow on bottom = pressure

lift DOWNWARD

Page 18: A is the frontal area of projectile facing the flow

Back Spin (top of ball moves backwards, away from ball’s flight path)

Back Spin produces upward Lift Force

Page 19: A is the frontal area of projectile facing the flow

Top Spin (top of ball moves forward in the direction of ball’s flight path)

Top Spin produces downward Lift Force

Floater Serve / Knuckleball Pitch

• all sport balls are not perfectly round in shape

• when a ball is projected with little or no spin:

1. the shape causes irregular/shifting air flow past the various sides of the ball

2. high and low pressure zones continually shift around the ball
