Freestream velocity, often denoted as V∞, is a fundamental concept in fluid dynamics, particularly in the study of aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. It refers to the velocity of a fluid (such as air or water) far away from the influence of any solid bodies or obstacles. This velocity is crucial in understanding the behavior of fluids around objects, such as aircraft wings or ships' hulls.
In aerodynamics, freestream velocity is typically the speed of the aircraft relative to the air mass. It
In hydrodynamics, freestream velocity refers to the speed of water or other liquids far from the influence
The concept of freestream velocity is also relevant in the study of boundary layers, where the velocity
