the sources of all aerodynamic forces

THE SOURCE OF ALL AERODYNAMIC FORCES A knowledge of four basic aerodynamics quantities (P, 𝞺,T and v ) at each point of the flow fully defines the flow field  The air flow over the surface of any body in the flow creates anaerodynamic force on the body the aerodynamic forces by the airflow on the surface of an airplane,missile,.....etc stems from only two natural sources                                         1. pressure distribution on the surface                                         2. shear stress distribution on the surface pressure exerted by the gas on the solid surface of the object always acts normal to the surface the net unbalance of the varying pressure distribution over the surface of airplane creates an aerodynamic force which is known as lift the s...

BUCKINGHAM'S PI THEOREM

BUCKINGHAM'S PI THEOREM  The  Buckingham  π  theorem  is a key  theorem  in  dimensional analysis . Buckingham ' s Pi theorem states that:    If there are n variables in a problem and these variables contain m primary dimensions (for example M, L, T) the equation relating all the variables will have (n-m) dimensionless groups.   Buckingham referred to these groups as π groups.   The final equation obtained is in the form of :                                                               π l = f(π 2 , π 3 ,….. π n-m )   The π groups must be independent of each other and no one group should be formed by multiplying together powers of other groups.   This method offers the advantage of being ...
