Turbulator Diameter and Drag on a Sphere
A sphere with turbulators of varying diameter was pulled through water with constant force. The relationship between the diameter of the turbulators and the ball’s total coefficient of drag was determined. The maximum drag reduction was found with turbulators of 0.002 m. The drag reduction was le...
