How to Determine Losses in a Flow Field: A Paradigm Shifttowards the Second Law Analysis

Assuming that CFD solutions will be more and more used to characterizelosses in terms of drag for external flows and head loss for internal flows, we suggest toreplace single-valued data, like the drag force or a pressure drop, by field information aboutthe losses. These information are gained when...
