-Flow lines and - See flow around - Very important to
Flow lines & flow visualization bodies understand and
visualization - Flow improve flow
improvement
- Attached flows - attached flows = - Attached flows - Shape v.s. drag
are required for low drag are required for - Validity of inviscid
Attached vs
inviscid flow & - separated flows = inviscid flow flow assumption
Separated Flows
Bernoulli's high drag
equation
- Turbulent PD > - Turb skin friction - Important role in
Laminar PD > Lam drag both high
- Turb delay sep = turbulent skin
Laminar vs Turbulent Reduce form drag frkiction drag and
