From Table the drag coefficient of a wide plate normalto a stream is approximately 2.0. Let the stream conditionsbe U∞ and p∞. If the average pressure on the front of theplate is approximately equal to the free-stream stagnationpressure, what is the average pressure on the rear?
Based strictly on your understanding of the flat-plate theoryplus adverse and favorable pressure gradients, explainthe direction (left or right) for which airflow past theslender airfoil shape in Fig will have lower total(friction 1 pressure) drag.
A square flat plate with sides of length L 2m and a negligible
thickness (out of the page) is held stationary in a stream of air that
is moving steadily at standard conditions past the plate with a speed
U = 10 m/s that is uniform except for the boundary layers. Assume the
plate is oriented so that only friction drag is important. Determine the
drag coefficient for this plate.
