Drag Coefficients For Magnetically Accelerated Spheres, Jann-Wuu Liang Aug 1966

Drag Coefficients For Magnetically Accelerated Spheres, Jann-Wuu Liang

Theses and Dissertations

The objective of this study was to determine the correlation of the drag coefficient of an accelerating sphere in the liquid medium over a range of Reynolds number from 0.1 to 100, 000. A magnetic accelerator was used to obtain an acceleration for the sphere, the data was recorded using a photograph and a digital computer was used to reduce the data.
