how a sail works, who can help me explain?
Just out of curiosity, Jan-Olov, what boat do you sail?
"Jan-Olov Newborg" wrote in message om... Very good webpage about physical Sail/Lift Theory Pim! The best I have seen so far on the web! Mikko in Finland has a very good page also with airflow computer animations. It´s only Navier-Stokes Lift calculations that comes close to the real physics! Prandtl "Lifting Line Theory" is only useful for a physical non existing "ideal/perfect fluid" created only by mathematical equations! Jan-Olov Newborg |

Didn't you break them stuffing them in the bag?

Hahahhahahaha. Can't even put the correct letters after you name? Talk

By the way, do you belive in "Bernoulli law" , saying that "High
Airflow velocity causing Low Pressure"? I believe in the phenomena of decreased internal pressure with increased stream velocity. That should mean the the jetblast behind an F-16 Fighter running on afterburner should create low pressure! If that were true it should mean that you could put jet fuel in a container and ignite it and then low pressure will suck the container into a ball. But thats not being the case! The total pressure is very high due to the high dynamic pressure! And that would be due to the expansion of gases among other things associated with the combustion of jet fuel. The Venturi effect you discuss is pure due to "The Coanda effect" and the turning of the airflow along the walls of the divergentpart of the pipe! How local pressure gradients are created by turning the fluidflow you can read he Local pressure gradients are created by a solid object and a relative airflow pushing and pulling on each other. This pushing and pulling is what turns the relative airflow. Local pressure gradients are a characteristic of this pushing and pulling not the cause. You got the horse before the cart. Its like saying cars go fast because of miles per hour. |

Why don't you read them yourself? WE already know how a sailboat works.

Spock,
I suggest you consider the names of the fuel and the engnes , Jet fuel, Jet after brners, jet fighters and try to imagine the operations that created those names OT |

Cheers MC Since you try to explain the sailforces using false "longer airflow path behind the sail and sail beeing a "half venturi pipe", you seems to need more correct physical flow information!

Don't be silly I never said such a thing. BUT energy conservation laws do apply. Cheers MC BUT energy conservation laws does not consider friction losses, compression and turbulence. They are a result of a mathematical construction for an non existing mathematical perfect fluid. Prof. em John D. Anderson,Maryland University, writes in one of his aerodynamic books, that Bernoulli equation can be used only for a straight centerline of a venturi pipe, and then you have not considered the compressibility of the fluid along that centerline!
