high-speed aerodynamics
1High-speed flight — In high speed flight the assumptions of incompressibility of the air used in low speed aerodynamics no longer apply. In subsonic aerodynamics, the theory of lift is based upon the forces generated on a body and a moving gas (air) in which it is… …
2Aerodynamics — is a branch of dynamics concerned with studying the motion of air, particularly when it interacts with a moving object. Aerodynamics is closely related to fluid dynamics and gas dynamics, with much theory shared between them. Aerodynamics is… …
3aerodynamics — aerodynamic, aerodynamical, adj. aerodynamically, adv. /air oh duy nam iks/, n. (used with a sing. v.) the branch of mechanics that deals with the motion of air and other gases and with the effects of such motion on bodies in the medium. Cf.… …
4Speed of sound — Sound is a vibration that travels through an elastic medium as a wave. The speed of sound describes how much distance such a wave travels in a certain amount of time. In SI Units with dry air at 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound is 343 m/s. This… …
5TGV world speed record — The TGV (train à grande vitesse, French for high speed train ) holds a series of world speed records achieved in the context of an active research and development program pursued by SNCF, the French national railway, and its industrial partners.… …
6UTA Aerodynamics Research Center — The University of Texas at Arlington Aerodynamics Research Center (ARC) is a facility located in the southeast portion of the campus operated under the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. It was established in 1986 as part of an… …
7Automotive aerodynamics — forces at high speeds. For some classes of racing vehicles, it may also be important to produce desirable downwards aerodynamic forces to improve traction and thus cornering abilities.An aerodynamic automobile will integrate the wheel arcs and… …
8Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit — This article is about the 1998 video game. For the 2010 video game, see Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010 video game). Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit Developer(s) EA Canada …
9Land speed — An object s speed across land is measured by difference in movement between the object and the land beneath it. Atmospheric pressure and aerodynamics must be considered when attempting to calculate possible speeds from the force… …
