Piling up: this image shows water flowing from left to right past a partially submerged sphere. A pile up of water is clearly seen to the immediate left of the sphere. (Courtesy: Harris Lab) ...

Researchers show mechanics of how drag on a partially submerged object may be several times greater than drag on a fully submerged object made of the same material. One of the most common and ...

Dive into fluid dynamics with **“Quadratic Drag In Vertical Motion | Classical Mechanics Explained.”** In this video, we explore how quadratic air resistance affects objects moving vertically, ...

Explore how quadratic drag influences the motion of objects moving in a straight line. In this video, we break down the physics behind resistive forces that increase with the square of velocity, ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — One of the most common and practically useful experiments in all of fluid dynamics involves holding an object in air or submerging it fully underwater, exposing ...
