Abstract
The viscous drag exerted by a fluid on an oscillating disk is determined by methods similar to those used in Part III. The present paper differs from Part III in that the boundary layer thickness is assumed here to be small compared with both the thickness and the radius of the disk. An extrapolation of the formulae derived here agree sufficiently well, however, with those derived for the thin disk (boundary layer thickness large compared with the thickness but small compared with the radius) that it is possible to make an interpolation between the present formulae and those of Part III that will permit the evaluation of the drag for arbitrary shape disks provided the boundary layer thickness is small compared with the radius.
Zusammenfassung
Der Einfluss der Zähigkeitskräfte auf eine in einer Flüssigkeit schwingende Scheibe wird nach den gleichen Methoden wie in Tiel III behandelt. Jedoch wird im Unterschied dazu vorausgesetzt, dass die Grenzschichtdicke klein ist im Verhältnis zur Dicke und zum Radius der Scheibe. Die abgeleiteten Formeln lassen sich mit gutem Ergebnis für die dünne Scheibe extrapolieren (hier ist die Grenzschichtdicke jedoch gross, verglichen mit der Scheibendicke, aber klein gegenüber dem Radius), so dass es möglich ist, zwischen diesen Formeln und denen des Teils III zu interpolieren. Damit wird die Berechnung des Reibungsmomentes für Scheiben unterschiedlichster Form ermöglicht, vorausgesetzt, dass die Grenzschichtdicke klein ist gegenüber dem Radius der Scheibe.
