The air resistance to the motion of a vehicle is something important that engineers investigate. As you may also know, the drag force acting on a car is determined experimentally by placing the car in a wind tunnel. For a given car, the experimental data is generally represented by a single coefficient that is called the drag coefficient. It is given by the relationship: Cd = Fd/(1/2)pV2A. What is the appropriate unit for Cd if the preceding equation is to be homogeneous in units?

As we explained in earlier chapters, the air resistance to the motion of a vehicle is something important that engineers investigate. The drag force acting on a car is determined experimentally by placing the car in a wind tunnel. The air speed inside the tunnel is changed, and the drag force acting on the car is measured. For a given car, the experimental data generally is represented by a single coefficient that is called drag coefficient. It is defined by the following relationship: F, where air resistance for a car that has a listed C, = drag coefficient (unitless) measured drag force (N) drag coefficient of 0.4 and width of 190 cm and height of 145 cm. Vary the air speed in the range of 15 m/s
A bullet is to be tested in the laboratory to determine the drag force on it. Dependent parameter the drag force D (Newton) depends on the velocity of the bullet V(m/s), the length of the bullet L(m), sound velocity c(m/s), density of fluid ρ (kg/m3) and dynamic viscosity µ(kg/ms). Solve the problem by making the necessary assumptions and drawing the schematic figure. I-Determine the nondimensional p parameters using repeating variables ii-a bullet with a speed of 96,2 m/s in air may be modelled in a water tunnel with a test section velocity of 262 cm/s. Determine the length of the model, if the length of the bullet is 56,2 mm.

Wind tunnel test section km/h Model FD Moving belt Drag balance The aerodynamic drag of a new Volvo FH truck is to be predicted at a speed of 85 km/h at an air temperature of 25°C (p=1.184 kg/m³, u=1.849x10-5kg/m-s). Volvo engineers build a 1/2 scale model of the FH to test in a wind tunnel. The temperature of the wind tunnel is also 25°C. The drag force is measured with a drag balance, and the moving belt is used to simulate the moving ground. Determine how fast the engineers should run the wind tunnel to achieve similarity between the model and the prototype.
