unreferenced date October 2008 In fluid dynamics , drag crisis is a phenomenon in which drag coefficient drops off suddenly as Reynolds number increases. This has been well studied for round bodies like sphere s and Cylinder geometry cylinders . The drag coefficient of a sphere will change rapidly from about 0.5 to 0.2 at a Reynolds number in the range of 300000. This corresponds to the point where the flow pattern changes, leaving a narrower turbulent wake. The behaviour is highly dependent on small differences in the condition of the surface of the sphere.

Unreferenced date June 2011 Image Drag Curve 2.jpg right Parasitic drag also called skin friction drag is Dragphysicsdrag caused by moving a solid object through a fluid medium in the case of aerodynamics , more specifically, a gaseous medium . Parasitic drag is made up of many components, the most prominent being form drag . Skin friction and interference drag are also major components of parasitic drag. In aviation, induced drag tends to be greater at lower speeds because a high angle of attack is required to maintain Lift force lift , creating more drag. However, as speed increases the induced drag becomes much less, but parasitic drag increases because the fluid is flowing faster around protruding objects increasing friction or drag. At even higher transonic and supersonic speeds, wave drag enters the picture. Each of these forms of drag changes in proportion to the others based on speed.

Phonon drag is an increase in the effective mass of conduction electron s or valence Electron hole holes due to interactions with the crystal lattice in which the electron moves. As an electron moves past atoms in the lattice its charge distorts or polarizes the nearby lattice. This effect leads to a decrease in the electron or hole, as may be the case Electron mobility mobility , which results in a decreased conductivity. However, as the magnitude of the thermopower aka Seebeck coefficient increases with phonon drag, it may be beneficial in a thermoelectric material for direct energy conversion applications. The magnitude of this effect is typically appreciable only at low temperatures 200 K . Phonons are not always in local thermal equilibrium they move against the thermal gradient. They lose momentum by interacting with electrons or other carriers and imperfections in the crystal. If the phonon electron interaction is predominant, the phonons will tend to push the electrons to one end of the material, losing momentum in the process. This contributes to the already present thermoelectric field. This contribution is most important in the temperature region where phonon electron scattering is predominant. This happens for math T approx 1 over 5 theta mathrm D math where D is the Debye temperature. At lower temperatures there are fewer phonons available for drag, and at higher temperatures they tend to lose momentum in phonon phonon scattering instead of phonon electron scattering. This region of the thermopower versus temperature function is highly variable under a magnetic field.

In rock climbing , rope drag is the friction of the rope plus its weight that the climber feels when pulling a rope through a number of protection climbing protection points, or over rock prominences. A large number of anchor placements, especially if they form a zig zag rather than a straight line, can make the rope drag so bad that the climber can hardly move forward. Let s assume a situation where the rope runs through several carabiners which are not all aligned. By using the equations of Eytelwein s formula Euler Eytelwein to describe the dry friction between the rope and the protection points, the rope drag can be calculated. ref name uleuthaeusser Ulrich Leuth usser 2011 cite web url http www.sigmadewe.com fileadmin user upload pdf Dateien Physics of climbing ropes Part 2.pdf?&L 1 title Physics of climbing ropes impact forces, fall factors and rope drag accessdate 2011 01 15 Retrieved January 16, 2011 ref It can be expressed by an effective mass of the rope that the climber has to pull, which is always larger than the rope mass itself. This effective mass depends exponentially on the sum of the angles of the direction changes the climber has made. Early errors by not using longer runners to reduce the angles at the first protection points are less severe than later errors which is in contrast to intuition. The chances of rope drag occurring can be reduced by using two ropes in parallel instead of just one so that for each point of protection, the nearer rope can be used , or by using sling climbing equipment sling s to extend protection so that the rope can stay in a straight line. If drag still happens, then the climber may need if possible to stop and set up a belay point sooner than expected. Rope drag on a dynamic climbing rope also effectively reduces the length of rope available for absorbing fall energy or, in other words, effectively increases the rope s modulus of elasticity , resulting in higher fall impacts than would be expected using a simple fall ... more details

A drag link is used when the steering arm operates in a plane above the other links. The drag link converts the sweeping arc of the steering arm to linear motion in the plane of the other steering links.

Drag Pack was Ford Motor Company s marketing name for an option package available in the United States for some of its car models that included a remote mounted oil cooler and higher ratio rear axle gear plus engine components on some models . This option is printed on the factory invoice as Drag Pack, Super Drag Pack, Drag Pak, or Super Drag Pak the spelling Pak was used by the Lincoln Mercury division of Ford . The only known exception is a factory equipped Boss 302 Mustang with the Drag Pack option, which was not marketed by Ford as such, or by any other name. ref http www.boss302dragpack.com Boss 302 Drag Pack Registry ref At the start of the 1970 model year , Ford began installing the Drag Pack on approximately 10 of Boss 302 Ford Mustang Mustangs . For those who were aware of it, this free Drag Pack upgrade was available simply by ordering a 4.30 rear axle ratio. The only known exceptions are two early production vehicles with 3.91 axle ratio special factory orders which received the oil cooler , and two 4.30 axle ratio vehicles which reportedly did not receive their intended oil cooler, possibly the result of a supply problem . The 4.30 axle ratio exceptions are insignificant in terms of establishing a meaningful pattern, as they represent a normal 1970 production line margin of error . Donald Farr s book, Mustang Boss 302 , is considered to be the bible of Boss 302 Mustangs. Farr notes on page 78 that blockquote One Engine tuning engine performance option remained a mystery since Ford failed to publish any information about its availability, although many cars were so equipped. The engine oil cooler, a known Drag Pack option for the 428 Cobra Jet, was frequently found on Boss 302 Mustangs although listed as not available for the Boss 302 in Ford literature.
