One of the most common and practically useful experiments in all of fluid dynamics involves holding an object in air or submerging it fully underwater, exposing it to a steady flow to measure its ...

Hyperloop, which presents a maximum velocity of 1200 km/h in near-vacuum tubes of 0.001 atm, has recently gained considerable interest in the development of future transportation systems 1,2,3,4,5,6.

Researchers show mechanics of how drag on a partially submerged object may be several times greater than drag on a fully submerged object made of the same material. One of the most common and ...
