What is Free Stream Velocity?

Free stream velocity is the velocity of a fluid (such as air or water) far away from any object, where the flow is unaffected by the presence of the object. It represents the speed of the fluid as it approaches an object, like an aircraft wing or a vehicle, before any interaction occurs. Free stream velocity is important in fluid dynamics and aerodynamics, as it helps in calculating forces like lift and drag on objects in motion. Understanding this velocity allows engineers and scientists to analyze flow patterns and optimize designs for improved performance.
