Displacement Drop Pressure Pressure drop Thickness

AI Thread Summary

To calculate pressure drop over a flat plate using displacement thickness, one must apply the principles of fluid dynamics, particularly the relationship between displacement thickness and boundary layer effects. The free stream velocity is a crucial factor in this calculation, as it influences the flow characteristics. Users are encouraged to share their attempts and specific challenges to receive targeted assistance. Understanding the flow regime and utilizing appropriate equations will facilitate accurate pressure drop calculations. Engaging with the community can provide valuable insights and guidance on this topic.

Thread 'Space Stuff and Launch Info'

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
