Thanks btrueblood, I think you're right. I reckon the pressure in the fluid should be a function of the acceleration.
Let me rephrase the same problem in a different way. In the project I'm working on we've come across a situation which can be approximated as the following:
Consider a flat...
Thanks for your reply BigInch. Could you please explain that formula? I can't seem to find it elsewhere.
So I think I understand that the expression ρ * V^2 / 2 is dynamic pressure, but what about / 2 / g * Shape Factor ?
Thanks.
Hi all,
I need to calculate the pressure in a fluid at some fixed distance from a flat plate which is accelerating (normal to its surface) through a fluid.
If you assume the plate to be infinite (i.e. a rigid half-space), then I think the problem can be formalised as a one dimensional problem...
Hello all,
Please could you help shed some light on this issue that I can't figure out. :)
A thin sheet of soft uniform material is lying flat on a rigid surface, and is subjected to transverse compression (ramp increasing force) by a flat indenter from the top.
In real life, past a certain...
