The image above represents newton’s drag force for turbulent resistance. To calculate newton’s drag force for turbulent resistance, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Particle Diameter (d), Terminal Velocity (v) and Density of Fluid (ρf).
The formula for calculating newton’s drag force for turbulent resistance:
D = 0.055π.d²v²ρf
Where:
D = Newton’s Drag Force for Turbulent Resistance
d = Particle Diameter
v = Terminal Velocity
ρf = Density of Fluid
Let’s solve an example;
Find the newton’s drag force for turbulent resistance when the particle diameter is 8, the terminal velocity is 4 and the density of fluid is 2.
This implies that;
d = Particle Diameter = 8
v = Terminal Velocity = 4
ρf = Density of Fluid = 2
D = 0.055π.d²v²ρf
D = 0.055π.(8)²(4)²(2)
That is, D = 0.055π.(64)(16)(2)
D = 0.055π.(2048)
D = 353.86
Therefore, the newton’s drag force for turbulent resistance is 353.86 N.

This implies that;
D = Newton’s Drag Force for Turbulent Resistance = 42
v = Terminal Velocity = 2
ρf = Density of Fluid = 4
d = √(D / 0.055π.v²ρf)
That is, d = √(42 / 0.055π.(2²)(4))
d = √(42 / 0.055π.16)
d = √(42 / 2.76)
So, d = √15.2
d = 3.89
Therefore, the particle diameter is 3.89.

Calculating the Terminal Velocity when the Newton’s Drag Force for Turbulent Resistance, the Particle Diameter and the Density of Fluid are Given
v = √(D / 0.055π.d²ρf)
Where:
v = Terminal Velocity
D = Newton’s Drag Force for Turbulent Resistance
d = Particle Diameter
ρf = Density of Fluid
Let’s solve an example;
Find the terminal velocity when the newton’s drag force for turbulent resistance is 50, the particle diameter is 5 and the density of fluid is 2.
This implies that;
D = Newton’s Drag Force for Turbulent Resistance = 50
d = Particle Diameter = 5
ρf = Density of Fluid = 2
v = √(D / 0.055π.d²ρf)
Then, v = √(50 / 0.055π.(5²)(2))
v = √(50 / 0.055π.50)
v = √(50 / 8.64)
So, v = √5.78
v = 2.40
Therefore, the terminal velocity is 2.40.
Calculating the Density of Fluid when the Newton’s Drag Force for Turbulent Resistance, the Particle Diameter and the Terminal Velocity are Given
ρf = D / 0.055π.d²v²
Where:
ρf = Density of Fluid
D = Newton’s Drag Force for Turbulent Resistance
d = Particle Diameter
v = Terminal Velocity
Let’s solve an example;
Find the density of fluid when the newton’s drag force for turbulent resistance is 35, the particle diameter is 6 and the terminal velocity is 3.
This implies that;
D = Newton’s Drag Force for Turbulent Resistance = 35
d = Particle Diameter = 6
v = Terminal Velocity = 3
ρf = D / 0.055π.d²v²
This means, ρf = 35 / 0.055π.(6²)(3²)
ρf = 35 / 0.055π.(36)(9)
ρf = 35 / 0.055π.324
So, ρf = 35 / 55.9
ρf = 0.626
Therefore, the density of fluid is 0.626.
