The lack of a suitable experimental setup and a limited number of in vitro investigations have impeded understanding of the factors that have important roles in altering the drag force acting on tiny ...

This paper analytically evaluates the Oseen drag coefficient CD of a sphere at infinite Reynolds number. For this purpose, the method of induced forces is used. This method enables the obtainment of a ...

A body moving through a fluid experiences a drag force, which is usually divided into two components: frictional drag, and pressure drag. Frictional drag comes from friction between the fluid and the ...

Hot slide Sizzling barbeque hotplates have triggered scientists to uncover a new mechanism to reduce drag. The findings could lead to more efficient pumping of fluids or help give underwater vehicles ...
