A Discrete Lagrangian Particle Equation of Motion for Significant Reynolds Numbers and Diameters

E Loth - 6th AIAA Theoretical Fluid Mechanics Conference, 2011 - arc.aiaa.org
It is often important to consider significant Reynolds numbers (eg up to 50) with respect to
the drag, lift, torque, and history forces. Herein, an equation of motion is developed for solid …
