3 Velocity Dependent Force  Forces are generally dependent on velocity and time as well as position  Fluid drag force can be approximated with a linear and a quadratic term = Linear drag factor (Stokes Law, Viscous or “skin” drag) = Quadratic drag factor ( Newton’s Law, Inertial or “form” drag) :15

4 The Reynolds Number R < 10 – Linear drag 1000< R < 300,000 – Quadratic R > 300,000 – Turbulent D v :20

5 The Reynolds Number II R < 10 – Linear drag 1000< R < 300,000 – Quadratic R > 300,000 – Turbulent D v :25

6 Defining Viscosity Two planes of Area “A” separated by gap Top plane moves at relative velocity defines viscosity (“eta”) MKS Units of are Pascal-seconds Only CGS units (poise) are actually used 1 poise=0.1 y x A :30

7 Viscous Drag I An object moved through a fluid is surrounded by a “flow-field” (red). Fluid at the surface of the object moves along with the object. Fluid a large distance away does not move at all. We say there is a “velocity gradient” or “shear field” near the object. We are changing the momentum of the nearby fluid. This dp/dt creates a force which we call the viscous drag. A :35

8 Viscous Drag II “k” is a “form-factor” which depends on the shape of the object and how that affects the gradient field of the fluid. “D” is a “characteristic length” of the object The higher the velocity of the object, the larger the velocity gradient around it. Thus drag is proportional to velocity D :40

9 Viscous Drag III – Stokes Law Form-factor k becomes “D” is diameter of sphere Viscous drag on walls of sphere is responsible for retarding force. George Stokes [ ]  (Navier-Stokes equations/ Stokes’ theorem) D :45
