Motion in a Fluid |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
| |
The frictional force (drag) acting on an object
moving in a fluid can be modelled using Fdrag = k v. |
|
| |
In this example you may vary five factors: initial speed (u), drag coefficient
(k), gravitational field strength (g), |
|
| |
mass (m),
and the time (time-step) between iterations |
|
| |
| |
| |
initial speed
(m/s), u = |
0.00 |
|
| |
drag factor, k = |
0.40 |
|
acceleration
due to gravity (m/s2) , g = |
9.81 |
|
| |
time step ( / s), dt
= |
0.05 |
|
mass of object
(/kg), m = |
0.200 |
|
