An analysis of drag forces based on L-moments
Since L-moment estimators are linear functions of the ordered data values, they are virtually unbiased and have relatively small sampling variance, especially in comparison to the classical coefficients of skewness and kurtosis. Moreover, estimators of L-moments are relatively insensitive to outliers. Liaw and Zheng (2004) calculated drag forces on cylinders by polynomial approximations in whic...
متن کاملDrag forces in classical fields.
Inclusions, or defects, moving at constant velocity through free classical fields are shown to be subject to a drag force which depends on the field dynamics and the coupling of the inclusion to the field. The results are used to predict the drag exerted on inclusions, such as proteins, in lipid membranes due to their interaction with height and composition fluctuations. The force, measured in ...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Air Flow around the NP Car Using the Realizable k-ε Turbulence Model to Predict Aerodynamic Forces and Moments
In this study, a numerical computational fluid dynamics study is conducted in order to predict the aerodynamic forces on the NP car. The turbulent air flow around the car is modeled using the realizable k-ε model. First, results are validated against those presented for the Ahmed’s body. Next, the fluid flow around the car is simulated for different car speeds ( to mph) and fl...
متن کاملComparative Computational Analysis of Drag-reducing Devices for Tractor-trailers
Constant rise in fuel price in recent times has caused manufacturers of heavy commercial vehicles (HCV) to turn to efficient aerodynamic design of trucks, wagons, tractors as well as trailers. The comparative analysis in this study compares the coefficient of drag of the following four aerodynamic configurations of a tractor-trailer combination: 1. Semi-trailer with no devices. 2. Semi-trailer ...
متن کاملDrag forces on vegetation due to waves and currents
The research focused on the variation trend of drag coefficient with Keulegan-Carpenter number in vegetation mimics in pure wave and combined current-wave flow conditions. Experiments were carried out in the Environmental Fluid Mechanics Laboratory at Delft university of Technology. Completion of this thesis was only made possible with the help of many people who graciously shared their time, e...
