Parameters of the problem
There are six parameters and three fundamental dimensions. So we can expect the solution to depend on three dimensionless numbers
These variables must be related by a dimensionless function of the form

2.3 The Drag on a Sphere
84/22/20
![Page 9: Introduction to Symmetry Analysis - Stanford Universitycantwell/AA218_Course_Material/Lectures… · Introduction to Symmetry Analysis Brian Cantwell Department of Aeronautics and](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050715/5f223192f8dfbc472478735b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The fact that the parameters have dimensions highly restricts the kind of drag functions that are possible. For example, suppose we guess that the drag law has the form
(2.11a)
(2.11b)
If we introduce the dimensions of each parameter the expression has the form
Suppose the units of mass are changed from kilograms to grams. Then the number for the drag will increase by a factor of a thousand. But the expression in parentheses will not increase by this factor and the equality will not be satisfied. In effect the drag of the sphere will seem to depend on the choice of units and this is impossible. The conclusion is that (2.11a) can not possibly describe the drag of a sphere.

Step1
The drag expression must be invariant under a three parameter dilation group.
(2.12)
Scale the units of mass using the one-parameter group
(2.13)
(2.14)
(2.15)
We can derive the required drag expression as follows.
The drag expression must be independent of the scaling parameter m and therefore must be of the form.
The effect is to transform the parameters as follows.

The dimensions of the variables remaining are
Let the units of length be scaled according to

The effect of this group on the new variables is
The drag relation must be independent of the scaling parameter l.
A functional form that accomplishes this is

Measurements of circular cylinder drag versus Reynolds number taken by a variety of investigators.
The data shows a huge amount of scatter - why?Figure 2.4 Experimental measurements of the drag of a circular cylinder
The drag of a sphere or a cylinder depends on a wide variety of length and velocity scales that we have ignored!

In the limit of vanishing Reynolds number the drag of a sphere is given by
If we insert the expressions for the Drag coefficient and Reynolds number into Equation (2.25) the drag law becomes
(2.25)
(2.26)
Note that at low Reynolds number the drag of a sphere is independent of the density of the surrounding fluid. In this limit there is only one dimensionless parameter in the problem proportional to the product CD x Re.

![Page 16: Introduction to Symmetry Analysis - Stanford Universitycantwell/AA218_Course_Material/Lectures… · Introduction to Symmetry Analysis Brian Cantwell Department of Aeronautics and](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050715/5f223192f8dfbc472478735b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
One might conjecture that the same kind of law applies to the low Reynolds number flow past a circular cylinder. In this case the drag force is replaced by the drag force per unit span with units
(2.27)
with drag coefficient
(2.28)
Assume that in the limit of vanishing Reynolds number the drag coefficient of a circular cylinder follows the same law as for the sphere.
(2.29)
If we restore the dimensioned variables in (2.29) the result is
(2.30)
This is a completely incorrect result! 164/22/20

There are now two additional dimensionless variables related to the fact that the sphere motion significantly changes the temperature of the oncoming gas.

The drag relation is now a function of four dimensionless variables.

Miller and Bailey, (JFM 93, 1979) found that the best measurements of sphere drag at supersonic Mach numbers were the cannonball measurements of Francis Bashforth taken for the British Royal Navy.

It is important to recognize that the dimensionless parameters generated by the algorithm just described are not unique. For example in the case of the sphere we could have wound up with the following, equally correct, result.
(2.41)
(2.42)
In this form the drag law has a finite value in the limit of vanishing Reynolds number.

More generally the velocity is proportional to the 1/9th power of the number of oarsman times a function of the Reynolds number, Froude number and aspect ratio.
Missing from all this is the effect of the aerodynamic drag of the rowers on boat speed.

The 1/9th power law scaling seems to work pretty well.
For an 8 man shell, the wetted area is about 20x(2/3)=13𝑚! and the Froude number would be about
Fr=6/(9.8"/!x13.0"/$)=1.01.
Assuming a drag coefficient of 1 and a frontal area normal to the boat direction of 1 𝑚!, the aerodynamic drag at 6 ⁄% &'(would be about
D=Cdx(1/2)x(1)x6! x(1)=18N.
The force generated by the oarsmen to push the shell through the water is about
T=8x540/6=720N.
