Streamlined Body
Streamlined Body:
A streamlined body is a body having a shape that lowers the friction drag between a fluid, like air and water, and an object moving through that fluid. In other words, A streamlined body is defined as that body whose surface is aligned with the streamlines, when the body is placed in the flow.
Streamlined body experiences drag mainly due to Viscous/Frictional drag, which depends on the surface area exposed to fluid. Since the drag on the streamlined body is low, the lift/drag ratio is high.In this case, the separation usually takes place at the trailing edge.
An example of streamlined body is a thin aerofoil.
