  2. Boundary layer control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_layer_control

    Suction applied through a slit in the cylinder near a separation point can also delay the onset of separation by removing fluid particles that have been slowed in the boundary layer. Alternatively, fluid can be blown from a faired slit such that the slowed fluid is accelerated and thus the point of separation is delayed.

  3. Streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streamlines,_streaklines...

    The dashed lines represent contours of the velocity field (streamlines), showing the motion of the whole field at the same time. (See high resolution version.) Solid blue lines and broken grey lines represent the streamlines. The red arrows show the direction and magnitude of the flow velocity. These arrows are tangential to the streamline.

  4. Skin friction line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_friction_line

    A limit streamline is a streamline where the distance normal to the surface tends to zero. Limit streamlines and skin friction lines coincide. [1] The lines can be visualized by placing a viscous film on the surface. [1] The skin friction lines may exhibit a number of different types of singularities: attachment nodes, detachment nodes ...

  5. Flow separation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_separation

    The tendency of a boundary layer to separate primarily depends on the distribution of the adverse or negative edge velocity gradient / < along the surface, which in turn is directly related to the pressure and its gradient by the differential form of the Bernoulli relation, which is the same as the momentum equation for the outer inviscid flow.

  6. Drag (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_(physics)

    The effect of streamlining on the relative proportions of skin friction and form drag is shown in the table at right for an airfoil, which is a streamlined body, and a cylinder, which is a bluff body.

  7. Wake (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(physics)

    Visualisation of the Kármán vortex street in the wake behind a circular cylinder in air; the flow is made visible through release of oil vapour in the air near the cylinder. The wake is the region of disturbed flow (often turbulent ) downstream of a solid body moving through a fluid, caused by the flow of the fluid around the body.

  9. Parasitic drag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_drag

    Skin friction drag imparts some momentum to a mass of air as it passes through it and that air applies a retarding force on the body. As with other components of parasitic drag, skin friction follows the drag equation and rises with the square of the velocity. Skin friction is caused by viscous drag in the boundary layer around the object. The ...
