Force vs Pressure Loadings
Force vs Pressure Loadings
(OP)
Hi,
I'm doing a structural analysis on a Wind Tunnel Model. Does anyone has any idea the percentage difference in applying sectional force loadings vs pressure distribution loadings?
Regards.

Perhaps I did not explain myself clearly. What I actually meant was that the forces loadings is a distribution along x-axis while the pressure loading is a distribution along x and y axes.
Example, for a tube axial along the x-axis
force loadings: for 0<x<1, the total force on that section is F1(N), for 1<x<2, total force = F2(N),....
pressure loading: for 0<x<1 and 0<y<1, pressure on that portion=P1(Pa), for 0<x<1 and 0<y<2, pressure=P2(Pa),....
What I would like to know is that for a cantilever kind of model, how different would the result be.
The force and pressure loadings are results from CFD analysis using the same conditions.
Regards.
