Please help me to calculate drag force and lift force
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Hello guys, im here and really need your help. In the figure below, the water flow from inlet and then out at outlet with velocity, v = 0.71 m/s. The objective is to calculate find the drag force and lift force act on fishing lure. I have done Ansys Fluent analysis but I need to validate the result from Ansys with calculation analysis. I really stuck about how the way to calculate this. I hope you guys can help me to show the way to calculate. Here is the result executed from Ansys CFD. In the Ansys, I use pressure based mode. Result from CFD Ansys: Coefficient of Drag, Cd = 0.02 Coefficient of Lift, Cl = -0.0068 For x-component (Drag Force) Pressure Drag = 0.03239 N Coefficient of Pressure, Cp = 0.013 Viscous Drag = 0.01334 N Coeeficient of Friction, Cf = 0.0059 Total Drag = 0.04574 For y-component (lift Force) Pressure Drag = -0.016 Coefficient of Pressure, Cp = -0.0073 Viscous Drag = 0.0012 Coeeficient of Friction, Cf = 0.0005 Total Lift = -0.015 The picture below is clearly show the situation: Given data : Data of Fluid (Water): Density of water = 998.2 kg/m^3 Viscosity = 0.001003 kg/m-s Velocity, v = 0.71 Boundary Condition Data: Length of X = 0.97676 m Length of Y =0. 22656 m Length of Z = 0.225 m Volume of Water = 0.049774 m^3 Surface Area = 0.98861 m^2 Fishing Lure Data Mass of Fishing Lure, m : 0.01874 kg Volume of Fishing Lure, V : 0.000018196 m^3 Surface Area (Wetted Area), A = 0.0050176 m^2 Fishing Lure Body Length, L=0.095 m 2. Relevant equations The equation that i used to calculated this is F=ma=Drag but the percentage error is very large so that the validation is not acceptable. Now i am very stuck because i am confusing whether to put mass in equation F=ma which is mass of fishing lure or mass of water? pressure drag + friction drag = drag force I think the equation above can help me but since i am very slow in my class :).. My problem is also 1)i do not know how to find pressure drag 2)if i want to find lift force, what equation i want to use? 3. The attempt at a solution I really need you guys to help me in anyway to explain me in how the exactly i must do to calculate this problem. 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data 2. Relevant equations 3. The attempt at a solution |

You haen't given enough geometrical data on the lure. Lures have odd shapes, including usually a foil shape (unequal top and bottom surface lengths) to give lift like an aeroplane wing. And then there's the shape of the cross-section the water sees.
Except for standard shapes, drag data is usually empirically derived. |

Please help me to calculate drag force and lift force
I tried to use this formula
acceleration taken from experimental, a = 0.03 ms^2 So, F=ma=Drag m(a + g)= Drag (0.01874 kg)(0.03 ms^2 + 9.81 ms^2) = 0.8035 N Lift Force Lift=W - Fb Where Fb is (spesific weight)(volume of fishing lure) = (0.01874kg)(9.81) - (9.789)(0.000018196m^3) = 0.00568 N I just used the simple equation.But the problem is the drag force and lift force that i got from calculation is not same or precise with the simulation result. am i missing something??or this equation is not ok at all?? 1)is it possible i put the F=ma is from mass of water?? |

L = W - B where W = .01874*9.81 = 0.1838 N = weight B = 998.2*1.8196e-5 = 0.01816 N = buoyancy force So L = .1838 N - .0182 N = 0.1656 N = lift force Your mistake here appears to be in both terms of your Fb equation, and it's very large. Hopefully that rather larger error, when corrected, will approximate your Ansys simulation. I'm not familiar with Ansys. |

hello buddy, sorry for late reply, still doing revision on this..i forgot to mention that the lure has angle = 14 degree...so it should be
x component F cos 14 = Drag then m(g-a)cos 14 = drag am i right?? but for lift, since calculation on x component has cos 14 so for y component F sin 14 + Fb + Lift - W = 0 so, Lift = W-fb-F sin 14 but i just want to confirm for y component, F = mg sin 14 right?? and another one thing is for your calculation on Fb, did u missing on gravity acceleration = 9.81?? Fb = pgV. Thanks buddy |

B = 998.2*1.8196e-5*9.81 = 0.1781 N and L = W - B = 0.1838 - 0.1781 = 0.00565 N So there is very little L, in other words, in the absence of water velocity the lure would barely sink. But L = W - B is correct. The thing is that L is a function of your 14 degree angle coupled with the velocity of the water stream. Fcos14 can't be right. If the angle = 0 deg. there would be no lift, and drag would be due solely to the lure's cross-section facing the stream. As the angle increases you get more lift and more drag. Above 45 deg. you would get still more drag but less lift. At 90 deg. you would get max. drag but zero lift. |

thanks for your explanation, okay, in this fishing lure, the lure will retrieve so that the lure will going down to dive..so the lift force will indivate negative sign as show the lure is going down...this is my opinion.
For F=m(g-a)---->a is measured vertically or horizontally?? However, i also want to calculate based on Reynold Number...i stuck on how to find Form drag. As we know Form Drag + Friction Drag = Total Drag..but to find lift force, is it also posibble to find using the equation right?? form drag + friction drag = Total Lift..??? I am very sorry because my english is so bad but i hope you can understand of what i want to explain to you. About friction drag, i will attached something about to find friction drag using one of formula that i am not familiar. |
