The discussion focuses on the complex aerodynamics of flag flutter, particularly how it creates differential pressure through vortex shedding. Participants express a desire for a clearer explanation of the fluid dynamics involved in this phenomenon. The conversation highlights the intricate relationship between aerodynamics and fluid dynamics in understanding flag motion. Experimental research is referenced to support the discussion, emphasizing the depth of the topic. Overall, the thread seeks to clarify the mechanisms behind flag flutter and its implications in aerodynamics.

i understand there is a lot of aerodynamics here...but...can some one explain the aerodynamics in it?and how it creates differential pressure?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I'd actually like to see the discussion on this too.

I have a couple of ideas in mind and want to see if they match up.
 
i guess..it has very deep aerodynamics..and deals with complex fluid dynamics as well..can anyone explain me with aero or fluid dynamics?
 
thanks for the link andy,it gave me a good perspective to think.
 

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
