Below are some interesting links to subjects concerning aerodynamics and fluid dynamics.
Bicycle
Aerodynamics-an extensive hypertext document
concerned with the aerodynamics of bicycle
design
Drag on a Golf ball-a Scientific American magazine article comparing the aerodynamic advantages of smooth and dimpled golf balls; part of a larger article about turbulence calculation using supercomputers
Baseball Aerodynamics-really an article on baseball, but with a little scientific content at the end concerning the effects of spin on baseball pitching
Soap
Film Visualization-a very neat page describing
the use of flowing soap film to study two-dimensional fluid flow
Flow over a Flexible Cable-two downloadable MPEG movies showing computationally simulated flow field over a flexible cable
Tacoma
Narrows Bridge-discusses the
infamous Tacoma Narrows
bridge incident. It failed because of the wind-induced resonance
Sports Aerodynamics-The affects of spin on aerodynamics through the use of two familiar examples: golf and baseball. It is included in a larger collection of fluid mechanics related references maintained by Prof. Hiroshi Higuchi of Syracuse University.
Basic Aerodynamics-a web book designed to teach the basics of flight, but which also explains, in detail, the mechanics of flight
Advanced Aerodynamics-a comprehensive web reference concerning many advanced topics relating to aerodynamics
Wakes
and Jets-Flow field data
measured using Particle Image Velocimetry in different situations
