Question #95321

Assuming that the drag force exerted by a flowing fluid on a body is a function of the density,viscosity and Velocity of the fluid and a characteristic length of a body. What is the general equation?

Expert's answer

General equation of viscous drag is :

Viscous drag=F=kρKrvViscous\ drag= F=k \rho K rv

Where

k=proportionality constantk=proportionality \ constant

K=kinematic viscosityr=characterstic lengthv=velocityρ=density offluidK=kinematic\ viscosity\\r=characterstic\ length\\v= velocity\\\rho= density \ of fluid
