An Adhesion Model for the Drag Force

TL;DR

This paper introduces an adhesion-based model for calculating drag force, emphasizing particle adhesion effects on the mass evolution of a solid body in a resistive medium.

Contribution

It proposes a novel adhesion hypothesis to model drag force, focusing on particle adhesion and its impact on the solid body's mass change.

Findings

The model explains the drag force through particle adhesion.

It predicts mass evolution of the solid body due to adhesion.

Provides a new perspective on resistive force modeling.

Abstract

The paper present a model for the drag force between a resistive medium and a solid body using the hypothesis that the drag force is created by the adhesion of some particles of the resistive medium on the solid body's surface. The study focus on the mass evolution of the solid body.
