41boundary-layer drag — A drag associated with losses of total pressure and total temperature in the boundary layers. It is the sum of the boundary layer normal pressure drag and the surface friction …
42pressure drag — /ˈprɛʃə dræg/ (say preshuh drag) noun that part of the drag due to the resolved component of the pressure normal to the surface of a moving body …
43aerodynamic drag — The resistance of the air to forward movement, sometimes called air resistance. This is a factor of the shape of the vehicle (drag coefficient and frontal area), the objects which stick out (i.e., mirrors, mufflers, bumpers), the amount of… …
44coefficient of drag — noun the ratio of the drag on a body moving through air to the product of the velocity and the surface area of the body • Syn: ↑drag coefficient • Hypernyms: ↑coefficient …
45Body drag — is the name given to a freestyle trick performed by a windsurfer. The trick involves the rider travelling across the water at high speed and stepping off the board and on to the water while still holding on to the boom which is connected to the… …
