The fluid a moving cylinder carries with it
The fluid a moving cylinder carries with it. Kinetic energy density around a cylinder moving through fluid that is at rest far away. The fluid is not dragged along in a lump: it is pushed aside in front and closes in behind, and the energy in that motion is what has to be supplied to change the body's speed.

8 essays call added-mass. The drawing above is what it returns with no arguments at all; every call below passes it something, because a placement that passes nothing draws whichever member of the family the generator happens to default to rather than the one its essay argues about.

It is also the blast radius. Changing added-mass changes every figure listed here at once, and on this site it may change what they assert as well as what they show — which is what has to be rebuilt and looked at before the change is believed.

Where it is called

What each of these essays asks for instead of the defaults is on the regime index, which reads the parameters back out of the finished figures rather than out of the placements.
