Module 6

The document discusses fluid mechanics and machines topics including introduction, problems related to drag and lift forces, separation of boundary layer, and stall in aeroplanes. Key points are drag and lift forces on airfoils, methods to prevent boundary layer separation, and how stalls occur when the critical angle of attack is exceeded resulting in decreased lift and increased drag.

Stall in aeroplanes
• A stall is a condition in aerodynamics and aviation wherein the
angle of attack increases beyond a certain point such that the lift
begins to decrease. The angle at which this occurs is called the
critical angle of attack.
• Air flow separation begins to occur at small angles of attack
while attached flow over the wing is still dominant.
• As angle of attack increases, the separated regions on the top of
the wing increase in size and hinder the wing’s ability to create lift.
• At the critical angle of attack, separated flow is so dominant that
further increases in angle of attack produce less lift and vastly
more drag.
Stall in aeroplanes
• When an aeroplane stalls, it is not like a car – the engine
does not stop. The stall is a breakdown of the smooth
airflow over the wing into a turbulent one, resulting in a
decrease in lift. The lift will no longer fully support the
aeroplane's weight, and the aeroplane sinks.
