The radial velocity (Vr) component of fluid flow around a circular cylinder refers to the fluid velocity perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder at a given radial distance from its center. This component of velocity describes how the fluid moves towards or away from the center of the cylinder in the radial direction. Vr […]

The equation you provided represents the drag coefficient (CD) of an aircraft in level flight. It is used to calculate the drag coefficient based on the total drag force (Ta) and the dynamic pressure of the airflow over the aircraft’s wings. Where: CD is the drag coefficient (dimensionless). Ta is the total drag force acting

Acceleration in flight mechanics refers to the rate of change of an aircraft’s velocity with respect to time. It is a fundamental concept that describes how an aircraft’s speed and/or direction of motion change over time. Acceleration is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. ‘a’ is the vertical acceleration (in meters

In flight mechanics, the average thrust is the average value of the thrust produced by an aircraft’s engines over a specific period of time. It is a key parameter used to characterize the performance of an aircraft during various phases of flight. Tavg=Wa/(L/D) the average thrust to the weight of the aircraft (Wa), and the

The height difference in a manometer refers to the difference in the fluid column levels between the two arms of the manometer. A manometer is a simple device used to measure pressure differences in a fluid system. It consists of a U-shaped tube filled with a liquid (often mercury or water) and connected to the

The magnitude of the inertial force (also known as centrifugal force or fictitious force) in flight mechanics is the force experienced by an object, such as an aircraft or its occupants, when it undergoes acceleration in a non-inertial reference frame, like during a turn. It is a force that appears to act outward from the

In flight mechanics, the load factor refers to the ratio of the lift force acting on an aircraft to its weight. It is a measure of the forces experienced by the aircraft’s structure and occupants during flight. The load factor is denoted by the letter “n” and is expressed as a dimensionless value. Load factor

The velocity at the exit of a diffuser refers to the fluid velocity of a flow exiting a diffuser section in a fluid system. A diffuser is a flow passage in which the cross-sectional area gradually increases in the direction of flow. It is designed to slow down the fluid and increase its pressure. V2
