dragForceMagnitude = velocity.magnitude ^ 2 * drag; // The variable dragForceVector = dragForceMagnitude * -velocity.normalized Thanks Andy Quote The good news about computers is that they do what you tell them to do. The bad news is that they do what you tell them to do. ...
Re: how to calculate cd -- drag coefficient??? #2 Stuman Guest Posts: n/a OK, quick question, have you used a symmetry plane? If so, then you have to double the force. Stu April 6, 2006, 09:01 Re: how to calculate cd -- drag coefficient??? #3 Michael Bo Hansen ...
How To Calculate Force Kevin BeckUpdated marchmeena29/iStock/GettyImages The wordforceappears in practically every imaginable aspect of daily life, from sports to weather to military conflicts. But fundamentally, force is a concept rooted in physics, where is has a very specific and critical meani...
This means that as speed varies during the drive cycle, so too will the resistance force acting on the vehicle. My suggestion would be creating a MATLAB Function block or use a Simulink block to calculate the resistance force based on your drive cycle data. This block shoul...
It is mentioned that the force is not constant, so it is not just a matter of finding d. Instead, it is the integral of the force with respect to the distance. The conversation also suggests using a method like Runge Kutta (RK4) with differential equations to calcu...
Karimu Guest Posts: n/a I am interested in obtaining the forces Fl,Fd,Fmy where Fl=lift force Fd=Drag force and Fmy=Moment about y-axis I know that fluent gives the Cd,Cm and Cl, but I will like if anyone knows how to obtain the forces. Thanks to all August...
As the hang glider and pilot move through the air, they collide with air molecules. The frictional force caused by these collisions is known as drag, which slows the glider down. The amount of drag is proportional to the airspeed of the hang glider: The faster the glider moves, the more...
3. Using Advanced Aerodynamics to Reduce Drag When you are driving on the freeway, most of the work your engine does goes into pushing the car through the air. This force is known as aerodynamic drag. This drag force can be reduced in a variety of ways. One sure way is to reduce the...
For a more realistic answer, build drag into the equations above. This complicates things a bit, but you can calculate it easily enough if you find the required bits of information about your bullet and the temperature and pressure where it is being fired. The equation for the force due t...
To calculate the minimum thrust required for your motor and propeller combination, you’ll need the estimated total weight of your drone. A general rule of thumb is that the maximum thrust produced by all motors should be at least double the total weight of the quadcopter. Insufficient thrust ...
