High-Wind Drag Coefficient and Whitecap Coverage Derived from Microwave Radiometer Observations in Tropical Cyclones

open access: yesJournal of Physical Oceanography, 2018
Ocean surface roughness and whitecaps are driven by the ocean surface wind stress; thus, their values calculated from the wind speed input may vary significantly depending on the drag coefficient formula applied.

Computational investigation on drag coefficient and pressure distribution of the truck with add-on

open access: yesAin Shams Engineering Journal
The current demand for reducing the drag coefficient represents one of the most significant challenges for all truck manufacturers. Fuel consumption can be improved via aerodynamic effects, which lower the vehicle’s drag coefficient.

Two-dimensional flow of foam around an obstacle: force measurements

open access: yes, 2005
A Stokes experiment for foams is proposed. It consists in a two-dimensional flow of a foam, confined between a water subphase and a top plate, around a fixed circular obstacle. We present systematic measurements of the drag exerted by the flowing foam on

Numerical calculation of boundary layers and wake characteristics of high-speed trains with different lengths. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Trains with different numbers of cars running in the open air were simulated using the delayed detached-eddy simulation (DDES). The numbers of cars included in the simulation are 3, 4, 5 and 8.

Energy and momentum relaxation of heavy fermion in dense and warm plasma

open access: yes, 2010
We determine the drag and the momentum diffusion coefficients of heavy fermion in dense plasma. It is seen that in degenerate matter drag coefficient at the leading order mediated by transverse photon is proportional to $(E-\mu)^2$ while for the ...

Investigation of the aerodynamic characteristics of a lifting body in ground proximity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The use of cambered hull shapes in the next generation of lighter-than-air vehicles to enhance aerodynamic performance, together with optimized take-off manoeuvre profiles, will require a more detailed understanding of ground proximity effects for such

Estimates of Spherical Satellite Drag Coefficients in the Upper Thermosphere During Different Geomagnetic Conditions

open access: yesSpace Weather
Satellite drag coefficients are crucial for determining the neutral mass densities that affect spacecraft operations in the thermosphere. Many studies typically utilize a constant drag coefficient of 2.2 to calculate the neutral density.
