Experiment F1 FORCES ON VARIOUS BODIES IN AN AIRSTREAM 1 - INTRODUCTION The report details the theory and experimental method of how to determine the forces on different bodies within an air stream. The theory involves the drag and lift coefficients. The first experiment will measure the drag force on a sphere and how it varies. This is then repeated for different axisymmetric bodies. The last experiment will measure how the lift and drag forces on an aerofoil vary with angle of incidence. 1.1 Purpose of Experiment - To observe quantitatively how the drag force varies on a sphere with the velocity of the airstream. - To measure the drag forces of various axisymmetric bodies (all with the same circular maximum cross section and axis of symmetry aligned in the flow direction) and to observe how the forebody and afterbody shape affect the drag. - To observe how lift and drag forces on an aerofoil vary...
