In which of the following body shapes, the pressure drag is large compared to the friction drag ?
Correct answer: C. Bluff body
- A. Stream line body
- B. Two dimensional body
- C. Bluff body
- D. None of these
Explanation
A bluff body causes flow separation and a large wake, producing substantial pressure or form drag. Streamlined bodies delay separation and therefore have relatively greater friction drag than pressure drag.
