  2. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    Rolling resistance is the force that resists the rolling of a wheel or other circular object along a surface caused by deformations in the object or surface. Generally the force of rolling resistance is less than that associated with kinetic friction. [74] Typical values for the coefficient of rolling resistance are 0.001. [75]

  3. Darcy friction factor formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_friction_factor_formulae

    Serghides's solution is used to solve directly for the Darcy–Weisbach friction factor f for a full-flowing circular pipe. It is an approximation of the implicit Colebrook–White equation. It was derived using Steffensen's method. [12] The solution involves calculating three intermediate values and then substituting those values into a final ...

  4. Skin friction drag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_friction_drag

    The skin friction coefficient is a dimensionless skin shear stress which is nondimensionalized by the dynamic pressure of the free stream. The skin friction coefficient is defined at any point of a surface that is subjected to the free stream. It will vary at different positions.

  5. Darcy–Weisbach equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy–Weisbach_equation

    Which friction factor is plotted in a Moody diagram may be determined by inspection if the publisher did not include the formula described above: Observe the value of the friction factor for laminar flow at a Reynolds number of 1000. If the value of the friction factor is 0.064, then the Darcy friction factor is plotted in the Moody diagram.

  6. Drag coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_coefficient

    Drag coefficients in fluids with Reynolds number approximately 10 4 [1] [2] Shapes are depicted with the same projected frontal area. In fluid dynamics, the drag coefficient (commonly denoted as: , or ) is a dimensionless quantity that is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment, such as air or water.

  7. Rolling resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_resistance

    is the rolling resistance coefficient or coefficient of rolling friction with dimension of length, and N {\displaystyle N} is the normal force (equal to W , not R , as shown in figure 1). The above equation, where resistance is inversely proportional to radius r {\displaystyle r} seems to be based on the discredited "Coulomb's law" (Neither ...

  8. Tribology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribology

    In systems with significant nonuniform stress fields, the macroscopic static friction coefficient depends on the external pressure, system size, or shape because local slip occurs before the system slides. [18] The following table shows the values of the static and dynamic friction coefficients for common materials:

  9. Sliding (motion) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliding_(motion)

    Generally, the frictional force of rolling friction is less than that associated with sliding kinetic friction. [1] Typical values for the coefficient of rolling friction are less than that of sliding friction. [2] Correspondingly sliding friction typically produces greater sound and thermal bi-products.
