push vs pull vis a vis rudders
JAXAshby wrote in message ... I see the rudder (prop in reverse, boat static) altering the direction of the water approaching the prop. no, the water pressure of either side of th rudder is the same. Now, perhaps it doesn't it doesn't. the water pressure on either side of a rudder is the same for water drawn over the rudder. Those are statements, not explanations. That's why I'm stuck. How about an explanation of those phenomena for a numerate old thickie? Try third year fluid dynamics instead of first year. It won't kill me. JimB |
