?
What undergoes deformation under shear stress?
Fluids
1 of 20
What is shear stress?
Parallel to ground
2 of 20
What is not an important parameter in describing fluids in terms of aerodynamics?
Volume
3 of 20
What is not a characteristic of Reynolds number?
It's not dependant on velocity of fluid
4 of 20
What is the are called where you get a velocity gradient?
Boundary layer
5 of 20
Velocity at a surface must be what?
0
6 of 20
The velocity does what with increasing distance from surface layer?
Increases
7 of 20
In what direction does drag act?
Same direction as oncoming air
8 of 20
What is not a type of drag?
Surface
9 of 20
What is the drag coefficient not dependant on?
Air speed
10 of 20
What is the drag not dependant on?
Viscosity of fluid
11 of 20
What is the area behind an object where there is low pressure and high kinetic energy?
Wake
12 of 20
In more streamlined objects, the wake is....
Smaller
13 of 20
More wake =
More drag
14 of 20
Re < 2300 =
Inertial flow
15 of 20
Re > 4000 =
Turbulent flow
16 of 20
What is reached when drag = gravity?
Terminal velocity
17 of 20
How is the pressure of a fluid related to the flow?
Inversely proportional
18 of 20
