Extract

For a Flat Surface at zero incidence in a deep uniform stream, the total frictional drag F per unit width of the surface can be calculated from the well known equation

Using the momentum principle in the usual way, it can be shown that when fluid is added locally to the flow through the surface, the total frictional drag F1 is given by
