DRAG FORCE

Allows students to investigate the direct and indirect measurement of drag on various shapes and to calculate and analyse the drag coefficient by different methods.

One of a series of eight experiment modules that fit to the Modular Air Flow Bench, this simple yet comprehensive experiment module consists of a duct with transparent front and rear. The front has scales printed on it to position the various parts during the experiments. A Pitot tube and simple mass balance are attached to the outside of the duct for wake traverse and direct drag measurements respectively.

It comes with three models all of the same frontal area: a cylinder with a protractor and a pressure tapping in its outer wall, a flat plate, and a symmetrical aerofoil shape. All the models fit in the arms of the mass balance for the wake traverse and direct measurement experiments. Learn about Pressure Distribution DRAG FORCE for optimal educational outcomes.. For cylinder pressure distribution experiments, the arms of the mass balance can be rotated clear of the duct and the cylinder model fitted between the duct walls directly. Both the Pitot tube and the cylinder tapping connect to the Manometer ancillary via flexible tubes fitted with quick-release couplings.
