Not familar with the term "linear velocity". Do you mean speed, or a particular

I have a better question MC, how is it that I can't see your response to me
directly, but only by reading CMs response. Note the sequence below, I never
knew you wrote back to me until he responded to you. Strange.
In another post, I was the OP and asked if anyone is going to the Sailboat
show in Annapolis. I see responses to my question, but I've never been able
to see my own post.
See ya in a few days.

I accept the error of the Longer line but I can't see how an increase of
air velocity on the curved side isn't the effect of Bernoulli. I grant
that it may not be the same air that separated at the mast but someone
will have to explain to me why it isn't the Bernoulli effect that is
pulling new air into the Leeward, curved side of the sail creating a
higher velocity


When the airflow changes it´s direction along the curved sail,
pressuregradients appear due to centrifugal forces ! The Coanda effect
forces the airflow to follow the surface of the sail. The local lower
pressure pulls in air behind at higher pressure and the airflow
velocity increases.

Professor Max M. Munk wrote very clearly about this in his book in
1933.

"Low pressure due to higher airflow speed" is a common
misunderstanding.

The use of Bernoulli to explain the Pitot tube is correct.

Static + dynamic pressure = Total pressure.

Bernoulli is always presented in a constricted venturi pipe in popular
articles!

Why is that?

Centrifugal force does not exist in any system unless there

centrifugal force does not exist. There is no line when

If the road turn left and your car can´t follow the curve, what do you

There is centrifugal force felt as long as the car's tires attach it
to the road so the force is felt. As soon as the car leaves the
road and there is no traction from the tires the car goes
in a straight line direction at a tangent from the center of the
curve.

At the moment the traction breaks from the road/tires there
no longer is any centrifugal force. In the case of sails,
there is nothing attaching the wind to the sails so there is no
centrifugal force.

Yes that aspect always frustrated me. But I think Newton's third law covers it: the force
of the pull is countered by the force of the object pushing back. No net force, no
acceleration. To actually get acceleration, you have to consider the whole system.

enegy content has changed.

The Bernoulli Principle applies to  sails and is the
principal contributor to moving the hull through the water,
In the case of aircraft jet propulsion.. the jet engines
provide the main forward thrust with the Bernoulli Principle
making a secondary contribution to lift in the countour

Jan,

Your answers are showing a great lack of knowledge and understanding. I
dought very much that you have read any of these works you 're posting.
If you have
read them then you better get some one to explain what they are saying.
You are screwed up to many ways

Examples; A pitot tube has no air flow thru it. Wind sock does have air
flow thru it
3; Centrifugal force is an outward direction from a inner point, 4; How
can you have Air Velocity in other direction than from high to low
pressure. 5; How Ground effect applies to a sail 6; how does Coander
exits if there isn't isn't a Bernoulli Vacuum created by the curved
surface of the wind 7; Are we seeing the results of Bernoulli, Newton,
coander?

In other word, You tell me. Don't print a Web site and think you are off
the hook. You, yourself, Tell us what the tell-tales are reacting to.
ON A SAIL. That is what this post is about. I don't think you can do
that

Ole Thom


Pims webpage tell you everything you need to know about the physics of
sailing.

http://www.sailtheory.com/index.html

Wings, sails, rudders and curved walls/roofs all works the same way:

Deflecting airflow and thus creating a force, action/reaction!

The Coanda effect causes the air/fluid flow to follow a curved
surface.

Since the airflow always try to go straight ahead as Newton 1 law say,
centrifugal/centripetal forces create local pressure gradients.

Thats the force acting on the curved surface.

A fluid always goes from high pressure to low pressure, just as the
weathermap tells us every day.

The pressure of the airflow on the weather map can never be explain by
the velocity of the airflow. Thats physically impossible.

High airflow velocity can never create low pressure!

Thats only a mathematical manipulation!

There is no "Bernoulli Vacum"!

There are many new websites explaining Lift forces physically correct,
not using mathematical modelled Potential/Circulation Theory,
Conformal Mapping, etc

Jan,

Your reply, once again, is loaded with errors and show very little depth
of understand of the very things you are discussing.

You say velocity cannot create low pressure. WRONG!! Just think of a
painter's spray gun. The paint is introduced into the air stream by a
low pressure created by the velocity of the air thru a venturi. A hand
pumped bug sprayer creates a low pressure by velocity over the tip
positioned in that high velocity steam. This is something you have to
come to terms with understand the workings of a sail

I asked you "What is the Ground effect have to do with a sail" you
elected to not answer that but you go off half cocked about wings,
sails, rudders, curved roofs etc all working the same. I AGAIN ASK YOU
to explain how ground effect is of importance in the operation of a
Sail?

Even in your use of Newton's Law your understanding is WRONG! You say
deflecting the air thus creating a force. Jan the air flow is the FORCE.
The deflecting is the action, which creates the reaction. Your
understanding of Newton's first law leaves at lot to be desired.

Jan, you better read some of those web sites you are calling up on
Search.

First you need a big CB, to get the updraft. When the the horisontal
circulation starts, it´s centrifugal/centripetal forces causing the
lower pressure to form.

Of cause, the house explodes if an airstream at 200 mph gets turned
around the house!

There will be very big low pressure gradients around the house!

That physics is very simple to understand even for Simple Simon, if
he just forget Leonard Eulers 1 D equation for a perfect, physically
non existing fluid, namely the so called "Bernoulli equation"!

Have you ever felt that it is the speed of the car that gives you the
power in the engine just as the "Bernoulli Effect" should give the
sail a force?

High airflow velocity can never create low pressure!
Thats only a mathematical manipulation!


Tell that to all the tornado victims who have seen the
structure they were in explode from greater pressure
inside than outside because of winds up to 200mph
or greater creating sever low pressure.

You are clueless, man. Get outside once in a while
and observe things. Sitting at your desk and reading
what professorial types have written is not serving
you well at all.


Ouch! Neal, I think ya got him. As someone once said, "PhDs? I've been
beating PhDs around the course for decades."

It seems to say that a spay gun can't work. Hhahahhahahaha. Remember I
said energy is ALWAYS conserved. Now can you explain why the air
pressure is lower at the surface in the coanda effect without involking
the 'MC' priciple?

Hhahahahahaha

Jan,

Your reply, once again, is loaded with errors and show very little depth
of understand of the very things you are discussing.

You say velocity cannot create low pressure. WRONG!! Just think of a
painter's spray gun. The paint is introduced into the air stream by a
low pressure created by the velocity of the air thru a venturi. A hand
pumped bug sprayer creates a low pressure by velocity over the tip
positioned in that high velocity steam. This is something you have to
come to terms with understand the workings of a sail

I asked you "What is the Ground effect have to do with a sail" you
elected to not answer that but you go off half cocked about wings,
sails, rudders, curved roofs etc all working the same. I AGAIN ASK YOU
to explain how ground effect is of importance in the operation of a
Sail?

Even in your use of Newton's Law your understanding is WRONG! You say
deflecting the air thus creating a force. Jan the air flow is the FORCE.
The deflecting is the action, which creates the reaction. Your
understanding of Newton's first law leaves at lot to be desired.

Jan, you better read some of those web sites you are calling up on
Search.

The Windsock seen at every airport and your beloved "Venturi Pipe" (
The Venturi effect" is very often misunderstood as the so called
"Bernoulli Effect"). It seems like The Bernoulli process always must
take place inside a Venturi Pipe! If not there will no "Effect".

The Ground Effect is just what physically happens in the Windsock and
in the Convergent Entrance Part of the Venturi Pipe! The longer into
the Venturi Pipe constriction we goes, the HIGHER TOTAL PRESSURE we
get and the lower airflow speed we get! Since you think that a sail
is some sort of half venturi pipe, you have the

Read all of PIMs exellent webpages!

You don´t need physical Sail explanations than that!

The one gram loss of mass you experience after shaking your fist for
half an hour might prove (for some) that mass and energy can be
interconverted -except that the lack of gamma rays proves that it is a
sterile issue.

Well, do adhesion/cohesion properties of a respective fluid play a role in
the Coanda effect? If so, are these "strings" not invisible?
