As we know the dynamic pressure over the wing is already weakened by the Skin friction drag, a further decrease in dynamic pressure ( e.g. due to adverse pressure gradient ) will cause the dynamic pressure to be lose further and a rise in static pressure. The loss of dynamic pressure will result in turbulent airflow over the wing to be increased and therefore the separation point to move forward. This will enhance the pressure difference between leading and trailing edge and therefore a more increase in Form Drag. So , further ahead the separation point towards leading edge, greater the Form drag.

How do you find an exact data point on an Excel graph?

Excel 2007 does not have this capability. Excel 2003 can do this as described in the related link. The idea is to draw your graph, then overlay a non-related point on the graph. When you drag the non-related point to the location on the graph where you want to identify a data point, you will see the underlying cell reference change to the location of your selected data point.

What is the importance of lift to drag ratio?

In aircraft aerodynamics, the lift-to-drag ratio, or L/D ratio, is the amount of lift generated by an aerofoil, divided by the drag it creates by moving through the air. A higher or more favourable L/D ratio is typically one of the major goals in aircraft design; since a particular aircraft's required lift is set by its weight, delivering that lift with lower drag leads directly to better fuel economy, climb performance, and glide ratio.


Would a golf ball flying through the air be friction?

There are two types of drag experienced by a sphere. The first is the obvious drag due to friction. This only accounts for a small part of the drag experienced by a ball. The majority of the drag comes from the separation of the flow behind the ball and is known as pressure drag due to separation. For laminar flow past a sphere, the flow separates very early. The surface roughness caused the flow to transition from laminar to turbulent. The turbulent flow has more energy than the laminar flow and thus, the flow stays attached longer.
