| 1. | The addition of a bulb to a ship's hull increases its overall wetted area.
|
| 2. | "Wetted area, " he says, is the surface of an object exposed to the air.
|
| 3. | In aeronautics, the "'wetted area "'is the area which is in contact with the external airflow.
|
| 4. | This enabled the new canard to be designed with less span, reducing wetted area and thus drag.
|
| 5. | As wetted area increases, so does drag.
|
| 6. | The completed hull has relatively small surface area for its size, this reduced wetted area also reducing skin friction.
|
| 7. | The BWB form minimises the total wetted area-the surface area of the aircraft skin, thus reducing skin drag to a minimum.
|
| 8. | It can be shown that two main drivers of maximum lift-to-drag ratio for a fixed wing aircraft are wingspan and total wetted area.
|
| 9. | Wet the stained area with straight liquid detergent, then cover the wetted area with a thick layer of dry powdered cement or kitty litter.
|
| 10. | In addition, fill volumes ( i . e . wetted area ), specific heat, heat transfer coefficient have to be determined to arrive at a correct value.
