Lecture

Fluid Dynamics: Viscous Flow

Description

This lecture covers the dynamics of viscous fluids, starting with the Bernoulli equation and d'Alembert's paradox. It then explores the effects of drag force, lift force, and turbulence on aircraft wings, as well as the concept of stall limit. The lecture also delves into drag coefficients, the Magnus effect, and the influence of viscosity on fluid flow. It discusses the measurement and significance of viscosity, including its role in generating turbulence and energy losses in fluid transport. Additionally, it touches on non-Newtonian fluids and showcases an experiment with bitumen, the most viscous fluid known.
