摘要
Using operating principles similar to that applied in atomic force microscopes, we have developed a novel measuring method to study the aerodynamic forces, in particular the lift and drag force, acting on a small particle attached to a wall and immersed in a linear shear flow. Results thus far have shown that the system is capable of measuring both the minute aerodynamic lift and drag forces that a particle experiences as a result of the flow.
