    Drag and lift are the forces which act on a body moving through a fluid, or on a stationary object in a flowing fluid. We call these aerodynamic forces (if the fluid is a gas) or hydrodynamic forces (if the fluid is a liquid).
    This video is all about the drag force. There are two main causes of drag - first we have the pressure distribution around the object, which is particularly significant if flow separation occurs. And then we have the shear stresses acting on the object, which are most significant for streamlined bodies.

    0:00 - 0:30. Introduction to Drag (What is drag ?)
    0:50 - 1:05. Why is drag an unwanted force ?
    1:30 - 2: 18 How is drag generated ? and formula for calculation of drag
    2:19 - 2:31 Components of Drag force (Pressure drag and Friction drag )
    2:32 - 3:19 Pressure drag in detail
    3:20 - 4:47 Flow separation in detail
    4:48 - 5:00 Why do golf balls have dimples?
    ( Dimples increase turbulence and hence reduce flow separation. Reduced flow separation means less "pressure drag" and so the ball travels large distance).
    5:01 - 7:15 Turbulence and its effects on Pressure drag and friction drag
    7:17 : 8:05 Ridges on shark skin as bio inspired solution to reduce friction drag.
    8:07 - 9:31 Effect of geometry and the orientation on Total drag.
    9:32 : 9 :51 Quantification of drag force through integral approach.
    9:52 Simplified formula for drag force.
    9:53 - 10:11 The drag coefficient and how it's calculated.
    10:22 - 10:36 The reference area (Emphasis on the selection of Area.)
    10:37-12 :25 Re Vs Cd and arriving at stokes law.
    12:26 -13:26 Arriving at terminal velocity of a sphere.

    I got so excited to see this on the feed, I was long waiting for a video about this. I started working on computational fluid dynamics half a year ago and it took me a lot of time to learn the theory behind it. You make everything look so easy to understand, you truly are a gifted teacher. Cheers!

    I really enjoyed that you pointed out that pressure drag becomes more significant for blunt objects and friction drag becomes more significant for thin structures(and pipes I should add). This is something that isn't specifically mentioned in a lot of literature, but is an important intuition.

    The most intuitive and real physical explanation of all aerodynamic forces I can think of - is modification of static atmospheric pressure around an object due to air movement. Atmospheric pressure is defined by random bombardment of air molecules as per the kinetic theory of gases; this randomness is changed by the macroscopic air movement. As a result the pressure is modified around the object creating forces that we're labelling as drag and lift.

    When i first watched it I had doubts like why turbulent flow delays boundary layer separation..why does flow separation cause dictate drag force..and how majestic is the graph at 11:44 I believe when I come back later, I would understand this video better.

    Studying engineering and then watching this video = mind blown
    Theres always that missing piece of a puzzle. And for the study of fluid dynamics, I have no idea if humanity will keep unlocking all the secrets of the universe regarding this. I remember from a professor that told that a lot of these constants are found experimentally. I wonder if someday humanity can fully understand how these things are to a point where experimentation wont even be needed

      A fun application of the terminal velocity is using a ping pong ball to determine altitude. To see whose rocket goes the highest, you eject a ping pong ball and time how long it takes to get to the ground.
