Researchers at Stanford University have discovered counterintuitive ways that birds use drag and lift when they fly. The findings may influence future research into how to “repurpose” drag and ...

Apparatus is described for measuring directly fluctuating lift and drag forces and steady mean drag force. These forces are exerted upon a cylinder placed so that its central axis is perpendicular to ...

Drag and lift are the forces which act on a body moving through a fluid, or on a stationary object in a flowing fluid. We call these aerodynamic forces (if the fluid is a gas) or hydrodynamic ...

A circular cylinder was placed in a flowing fluid with its axis across the stream. The fluctuating lift and drag forces, and the steady drag force were measured. The results for the stationary ...

In the world of aerodynamics, accurately estimating drag polar and lift curve slope is crucial. From wind tunnel testing to computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the quest for precision is constant.
