Help Newtonian mechanics and Bernoulli/Venturi effect in generating lift

AI Thread Summary
Lift in fixed wing flight can be analyzed through both Newton's laws and the Bernoulli effect. Newton's model suggests using wing area and air pressure to calculate lift, while the Bernoulli effect involves pressure differences created by wing shape. Calculating lift from these principles separately is complex, with Newton's approach being more straightforward than Bernoulli's. Both methods present significant challenges when attempting to derive lift from first principles. Understanding these concepts is crucial for grasping the mechanics of flight.

Hello, this question is about lift in fixed wing flight (airplanes).

Is it possible to calculate separately the lift generated by:
- Newton's laws (wings deflecting air particles)
- Bernoulli effect (difference in air pressure above and below the wings caused by the shape of the wings(?))

Any suggestions on how to do this?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
this is just a suggestion

in Newton's model use the wing area A and the air pressure P=1/3 \rho v2 to calculate lifting force f=PA

for Bernoulli it's more complicated.
 
If you mean calculate from scratch, both are extremely difficult.
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
