  • "the most important unsolved problem of classical physics." - Richard Feynman

    "Before I die, I hope that someone will explain quantum mechanics to me. After I die, I hope that God will explain turbulence to me." - Werner Heisenberg

  • @RobotechMacrossGame Yes, i ment C_D. 

  • @SlavaVB It depends on the Reynolds number. For a sphere there's a

    range in R, where the drag is minimum (drag crisis regime)

  • what's the music? :)

  • Actually, it probably is, when the flow is separated the drag increases and turbulent flow separates later than laminar flow would. That's why golf balls have dimples, to make the flow turbulent.

  • doesnt it seem as if the turbulence is actually reducing the drag here?
