Book Drag Force on Objects in the Nearly Free Molecular Flow Regime as a Function of Speed Ratio

Download or read book Drag Force on Objects in the Nearly Free Molecular Flow Regime as a Function of Speed Ratio written by Y. Y. Lin Wang and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The drag coefficient of an object moving in a rarefied gas can be expanded in terms of the inverse Knudsen number. In the reported equation one term represents the drag coefficient in the free molecular flow limit. It is shown that a second coefficient is determined by a set of well defined collision integrals associated with sequences of successive collisions among two molecules and the object. These collision integrals are evaluated for a disc and a sphere assuming that the gas molecules are reflected diffusively by the object. The molecules are treated as hard spheres and the drag coefficient is studied as a function of the velocity of the object. (Modified author abstract).

Download or read book Dune Worlds written by Ralph D. Lorenz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes how sand dunes work, why they are the way they are in different settings, and how they are being studied. Particular attention is paid to their formation and appearance elsewhere in the solar system. New developments in knowledge about dunes make for an interesting story – like the dunes themselves, dune science is dynamic – and the visual appeal of Aeolian geomorphology ensures that this is an attractive volume. The book is divided into 4 parts, the first of which introduces dunes as a planetary phenomenon, showing a landscape reflecting the balance of geological processes – volcanism, impact, tectonics, erosion, deposition of sediments. Dunes are then considered as emergent dynamical systems: the interaction of sand and wind conspires to generate very characteristic and reproducible shapes. Analogies are given with other emergent structures such as patterned ground before the influence of dunes on desert peoples and infrastructure is studied, together with their use as forensic climatological indicators. Dune Physics is looked at with regard to the mechanics of sand, the physics of wind, saltation – interaction of sand and air – dunes versus ripples and transverse Aeolian ridges, the classification of dune morphology and the sources and sinks of sand. Dune Trafficability considers soil mechanics, effects on mobility on Earth, Mars and elsewhere. In the second part, Earth, Mars, Titan and other moons and planets are examined, beginning with a survey of the major deserts and dunefields on Earth. The authors then turn to Mars and its environment, sediment type, dune stratigraphy, sediment source and sinks and the association of dunes with topographic features. Titan follows - its thick, cold atmosphere, methane dampness, low gravity, morphology – interaction with topography and the implications of dunes for climate and winds. Dunes elsewhere conclude this part. There are few dunefields on Venus, but there is a .possibility of Aeolian transport on Triton and volcanic-related windstreaks on Io.

Book Aerodynamic Drag and Heat Transfer for Flow Past Two dimensional Bodies at High Knudsen Numbers

Download or read book Aerodynamic Drag and Heat Transfer for Flow Past Two dimensional Bodies at High Knudsen Numbers written by Donald Roger Willis and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the integral iteration method, theoretical results are obtained for aerodynamic drag and heat transfer in the nearly free molecular regime. The geometries considered are: circular cylinders, inclined flat plates, and wedges, all two dimensional. Perturbation to the free molecular results are obtained correct to order (1/Kn) ln Kn only (Kn is the Knudsen number). The free stream speed ratio is greater than two and the body temperatures range from free stream to recovery. The results are similar to those obtained previously for a normal flat strip, except that for small angle wedges and flat strips at small angles of attack, the drag coefficient is predicted to exceed the free molecular value.
