7. 7 Viscous Drag I An object moved through a fluid is surrounded by a “flow-field” (red). Fluid at the surface of the object moves along with the object. Fluid a large distance away does not move at all. We say there is a “velocity gradient” or “shear field” near the object. Molecules (particularly long molecules) intertwine with their faster moving neighbors and hold them back. This “intermolecular friction” causes viscosity. A :35

8. 8 Viscous Drag II “k” is a “form-factor” which depends on the shape of the object and how that affects the gradient field of the fluid. “D” is a “characteristic length” of the object The higher the velocity of the object, the larger the velocity gradient around it. Thus drag is proportional to velocity D :40
