Abstract

The aerodynamics of vehicles and airplanes, and the common hydro- and aerodynamics of ships determine all events which influence the flow around vehicles, airplanes, and ships. Resistance causes draught which results from the shape of the means of transportation designed by manufacturers and is decisive for the aerodynamics of road vehicles and airplanes, and the common aero- and hydrodynamic properties of ships.
