Boomerang (2)
The lift coefficient (C_L) of an object, such as a boomerang, is a dimensionless parameter that characterizes the aerodynamic lift generated by its wings or surfaces. Experimentally determining the lift coefficient involves conducting tests where the object is subjected to controlled airflow to measure the lift it generates at different angles of attack. Here's how the lift coefficient can be determined experimentally:
1. Wind Tunnel Testing:
- Setup: The boomerang or a scaled model of the boomerang is placed in a wind tunnel, which provides a controlled and uniform flow of air.
- Angle of Attack Variation:...
