THEUST AND CENTEE OP PEESSUEE 41 This shows in a general way why L, the C.P. (centre of pressure) is away from F, the C.F. (centre of figure) and more towards B, so that the tendency of the fluid reaction is to turn the plane more broadside to the stream. A popular figure of the stream lines past a… … Fig. li. In the electrical law of flow where there is no wake, as here in Colonel Hippisley's diagram (Fig. 15), the broaden- ing of the stream is shown near a branch point; but as the stream lines close in behind symmetrically, there is no resultant thrust on the cylinder by the stream tending to…
