. STREAMLINED BODIES8.1 Nominal Drag ForceA symmetric streamlined body at zero angle of attack experiences only a drag force, which has the form: The drag coefficient CA has both pressure and skin friction components, and hence area Ao is usually that of the wetted surface. Note that the A-subscript will be used to denote zero angle of attack conditions; also, the sign of FA is negative, because it opposes the vehicle’s x-axis.8.2 Munk Moment.Any shape other than a sphere generates a moment when inclined in an inviscid flow. d’Alembert’s paradox predicts zero net force, but not necessarily a zero moment. This Munk moment arises for a simple reason, the asymmetric location of the stagnation points,where pressure is highest on the front of the body (decelerating flow) and lowest on the back (accelerating flow). The Munk moment is always destabilizing, in the sense that it acts to turn the vehicle perpendicular to the flow. Azz>Axx for a slender body, and the negative sign indicates a negative pitch with respect to the vehicle’s pitch axis. The added mass terms Azz and Axx can be estimated from analytical expressions (available only for regular shapes such as ellipsoids), from numerical calculation, or from slender body approximation (to follow).
