Measurement of drag using a momentum balance
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 July 2016
Summary
This note presents the results of the application of a momentum control surface analysis to the estimation of the drag of bodies and surfaces placed in the test section of a windtunnel. The assumptions of the method are stated and accuracy of the method considered with particular reference to the drag of riblet surfaces at high subsonic speeds, the drag of two-dimensional cavities at both high subsonic and low supersonic speeds, and the drag of manipulators at high subsonic speeds.
