On the drag coefficient of a sphere

Powder Technology, 1986
Abstract A mathematical approximation to experimental data on the drag coefficient of a sphere is presented. The approximation is compared with other approximations and shown to be significantly better both in range and in accuracy. The Newton-Raphson technique is applied to the approximation, allowing the computation of the terminal velocity from a ...

Satellite drag coefficients

Planetary and Space Science, 1965
Abstract The drag of artificial earth satellites is reconsidered in the light of recent studies of gas-surface interactions and atmospheric composition. Between heights of 140 and 400 km at times of low solar activity, or heights of 140 and 600 km at times of high solar activity, the drag coefficient is almost independent of height, and at present ...

Fetch Limited Drag Coefficients

Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 1997
Measurements made at a tower located 2 km off the coast of Denmark inshallow water during the Riso Air Sea Experiment (RASEX) are analyzedto investigate the behaviour of the drag coefficient in the coastal zone.For a given wind speed, the drag coefficient is larger during conditions ofshort fetch (2-5 km) off-shore flow with younger growing waves than ...

Geostrophic drag coefficients

Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 1973
Data on the relationship of the surface wind to the geostrophic wind at Porton Down, Salisbury Plain, are presented for various stability conditions and analysed in the light of the Rossbynumber similarity theory. For near-neutral conditions, the geostrophic drag coefficients for geostrophic wind speeds 5 to 15 m s-1 are close to those found by other ...

Swell and the drag coefficient

Ocean Dynamics, 2015
Simultaneous measurements of waves and turbulent fluxes were collected from a moored surface buoy in the Philippine Sea. Waves were partitioned into their wind sea and swell components, and the ratio of swell to wind sea energy was used to assign a swell index. The 10-m neutral drag coefficient was calculated using the eddy correlation method.

Drag Coefficients of Viscous Drops

Fluids Engineering, 2000
Abstract We have used a finite-difference scheme to solve the Navier-Stokes equations for the steady flow inside and outside viscous spheres in a fluid of different properties. Hence, we obtained the hydrodynamic forces and the steady-state drag coefficient of the spheres. The computational technique we have used enables us to extend the

Computation of conductor drag coefficients

Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1993
Abstract Conductor drag coefficients are computed using large eddy simulation. A hybrid procedure in which the finite difference method is used to integrate the momentum equation and the finite element method to integrate the pressure equation is utilized in a nonorthogonal grid system.
