1. Drag– 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

tip vortices

Drag – 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

2. Flow Separation

streamlined body cylindral body

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.

Laminar and Turbulent Boundary Layers

3. Drag Coefficients for Different Shapes

Drag coefficient depends on Re (sphere, disk, streamlined body).

5. Vortex Shedding

Under certain conditions vortices are generated from the

edges of a body in a flow.

frequency n determined by Strouhal’s number:

(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.

• underestimated wind design conditions

• interaction between towers not considered

8. Magnus Effect

Heinrich

Gustav

Magnus

Net force occurs when a sphere or cylinder in a

moving fluid is rotating

Top of cylinder: velocities of the moving fluid and the

rotating ball enhance each other low pressure

Bottom of cylinder: velocities of the moving fluid and the

rotating ball counteract each other high pressure

Pressure difference net force
