minal velocity

An object falling through viscous medium accelerates quickly towards its terminal speed, approaching
gradually as the speed gets nearer to the terminal speed. Whether the object experiences turbulent or
laminar drag changes the characteristic shape of the graph with turbulent flow resulting in a constant
acceleration for a larger fraction of its accelerating time.
The velocity as a function of time for an object falling through a non-dense medium, and released
at zero relative-velocity v = 0 at time t = 0, is roughly given by a function involving a hyperbolic
tangent (tanh):
The hyperbolic tangent has a limit value of one, for large time t. In other words,
velocity asymptotically approaches a maximum value called the terminal velocity vt:
For an object falling and released at relative-velocity v = vi at time t = 0, with vi < vt, is
also defined in terms of the hyperbolic tangent function:

When an object falls from rest, its velocity will be
which asymptotically approaches the terminal velocity . For a given , heavier objects
fall more quickly.
For the special case of small spherical objects moving slowly through
a viscous fluid (and thus at small Reynolds number), George Gabriel Stokes derived
an expression for the drag consta

ag) that is not present when lift is zero. The trailing vortices in the flow-field, present in the wake
of a lifting body, derive from the turbulent mixing of air from above and below the body which
flows in slightly different directions as a consequence of creation of lift.
With other parameters remaining the same, as the lift generated by a body increases, so does
the lift-induced drag. This means that as the wing's angle of attack increases (up to a maximum
called the stalling angle), the lift coefficient also increases, and so too does the lift-induced drag.
At the onset of stall, lift is abruptly decreased, as is lift-induced drag, but viscous pressure drag, a
component of parasite drag, increases due to the formation of turbulent unattached flow in the
wake behind the body.

The closed form solution for the minimum wave drag of a body of revolution with a fixed length
was found by Sears and Haack, and is known as the Sears-Haack Distribution. Similarly, for a
fixed volume, the shape for minimum wave drag is the Von Karman Ogive.
The Busemann biplane is not, in principle, subject to wave drag when operated at its design
speed, but is incapable of generating lift in this condition.

d'Alembert's paradox[edit]
Main article: d'Alembert's paradox
In 1752 d'Alembert proved that potential flow, the 18th century state-of-the-art inviscid
flow theory amenable to mathematical solutions, resulted in the prediction of zero drag. This was
in contradiction with experimental evidence, and became known as d'Alembert's paradox. In the
19th century the Navier–Stokes equations for the description of viscous flow were developed
by Saint-Venant, Navier and Stokes. Stokes derived the drag around a sphere
