What is laminar flow around a golf ball?
Go back to the first set of FAQs on Principles of Flight. FAQ on instruments of airplanes Please go to http://www.allstar.fiu.edu/aero/princ1.htm. Halfway down the page are materials on instruments. FAQ about different explanations for lift First you must understand that it took quite a long time to show that Bernoulli didn’t explain everything about lift and that finally with the use of sophisticated equipment Bernoulli was shown not to give all the answers. Bernoulli was simple but if you understand the Eberhardt paper (which can be found at http://www.allstar.fiu.edu/aero/airflylvl3.htm), you see there are some situations in which bernoulli doesn’t work. FAQ on how to calculate the coefficient of lift The coefficient of lift is normally obtained by experimental work using wind tunnel tests. Many tests were run by the NACA, the predecessor to the NASA, and a booklet NACA Report 824 (1945) was created to give the relation of coefficient of lift, coefficient of drag, pressure and momen
