Drag over triangle -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

June 18, 2002, 19:14	Drag over triangle	#1
MR Guest Posts: n/a	Hi! I have a very basic/silly question - how would you calculate the drag force over a thin equilateral triangle, placed with the base aligned with the incoming laminar flow? I know that momemtum defect in wake is the drag force, but I end up with the result that the shape of the body and its placement doesn't affect drag! I hope my question is clear. Any hints would be of great help. Thanks. P.S - This is one of the problems in the text book - 'Viscous Flow' by White. (Problem #4.12)
