The Aerodynamic Drag of Parafoils
The parafoil is an aerodynamic decelerator that uses the concept of parachute and airfoil aerodynamics. The device has been used as a parachute for high-precision delivering of payload (military and civilian), to recover sounding rockets, for various tethered applications (to carry instrumentation for weather survey, air pollution measurements, radar tracking systems), and as recreational parac...
متن کاملAerodynamic drag in cycling: methods of assessment.
When cycling on level ground at a speed greater than 14 m/s, aerodynamic drag is the most important resistive force. About 90% of the total mechanical power output is necessary to overcome it. Aerodynamic drag is mainly affected by the effective frontal area which is the product of the projected frontal area and the coefficient of drag. The effective frontal area represents the position of the ...
متن کاملAerodynamic drag of modern soccer balls
Soccer balls such as the Adidas Roteiro that have been used in soccer tournaments thus far had 32 pentagonal and hexagonal panels. Recently, the Adidas Teamgeist II and Adidas Jabulani, respectively having 14 and 8 panels, have been used at tournaments; the aerodynamic characteristics of these balls have not yet been verified. Now, the Adidas Tango 12, having 32 panels, has been developed for u...
متن کاملSmart morphable surfaces for aerodynamic drag control.
Smart Morphable Surfaces enable switchable and tunable aerodynamic drag reduction of bluff bodies. Their topography, resembling the morphology of golf balls, can be custom-generated through a wrinkling instability on a curved surface. Pneumatic actuation of these patterns results in the control of the drag coefficient of spherical samples by up to a factor of two, over a range of flow conditions.
متن کاملOn the Aerodynamic Drag of Streamers and Flags
Low speed drag and flutter measurements of rectangular flags and streamers are presented. The streamers have aspect-ratios between 10 and 30; the flag has an aspect-ratio 3.3. Operating Reynolds numbers are in the range Re = 2 · 105 to 2 · 106. Experiments are performed with three fabrics of different weight, bending rigidity and hysteresis. The streamers are fixed to a three-component force ba...
