Pressure |
The Frisbee experiences pressure
differences as it travels through the air. This idea is pretty easy to
grasp. As the disc travels into the air flow, an area of high pressure
builds up on the leading edge, where the two boundary layers separate. (3)
The trailing edge of the cavity also experiences an area of high pressure due to the boundary layer reattaching to the surface of the disc. |
