One could imagine two plates as shown in Fig. 1 each wrapped around a half cylinder, so that the Lorentz forces on both sides have the same direction. Depending on the polarity of the applied electric field the force sketched by the ...

Fluid Mechanics Concepts
... When an object floats in a given fluid, the buoyant force and the weight of the object are equal. To float, the average density of an object must be less than that of the fluid, because, with only a portion of its volume below the surface, the object displaces a small volume of fluid that weighs as ...

Drag (physics)
In fluid dynamics, drag (sometimes called air resistance, a type of friction, or fluid resistance, another type of friction or fluid friction) refers to forces acting opposite to the relative motion of any object moving with respect to a surrounding fluid. This can exist between two fluid layers (or surfaces) or a fluid and a solid surface. Unlike other resistive forces, such as dry friction, which are nearly independent of velocity, drag forces depend on velocity.Drag force is proportional to the velocity for a laminar flow and the squared velocity for a turbulent flow. Even though the ultimate cause of a drag is viscous friction, the turbulent drag is independent of viscosity.Drag forces always decrease fluid velocity relative to the solid object in the fluid's path.
