from Bicycle Science pg. 174 Aerodynamics ? Drag Coefficient ? CD = drag/(area x dynamic pressure) ? Dynamic Pressure can be approximated for speeds under 100 mi/h as: ? Dynamic pressure = ρV2/2gc ? gc = lbmft/lbfs2 ? Drag ? The force in the direction of relative flow. ? Propulsion power to overe drag: ? ? = drag force x relative vehicle velocity Aerodynamics Drag coefficients of various geometries Figure from Bicycling Science pg. 191 Aerodynamics ? Laminar Flow ? Layers of fluid flow slide smoothly over one another ? Turbulent Flow ? Boundary layer is posed of vortices that increase surface friction. ? Common at rear end of nonstreamlined vehicle Turbulent Laminar ry/ELEC/l2fig/ Bicycle Aerodynamics ? Bicycle is responsible for 2035% of drag. ? Loose Clothing increases drag by up to 30%.
