Re: Beating Kamm tails

["Daegrigg (Don)" <daegrigg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not to beat but perhaps tickle a "dead horse",  all bodies moving through a
gas/liquid have both drag and lift coefficients depending on shape,
velocity, area facing forward and various attributes of the medium (lets say
air a sea level), and a constant called gravity.  Ergo, if it moves there
will be dynamic forces that want to push this body around.  Play with these
pieces and you get up force, down force and depending on where this happens,
the handling of a body (let say one with four wheels) is affected.

Now to laminar and turbulent flow...
