| Abstract: | For bodies moving in liquids with various stratification profiles, the relation between the drag coefficients considered as functions of the Froude number is investigated. The problems of stratified liquid dynamics have not previously been studied from this viewpoint, either experimentally or theoretically. On the range of the Froude numbers F1-1, the drag force coefficients obtained from bench measurements of the towing resistance to the uniform horizontal motion of models in two-layer and continuously stratified liquids are compared. The experimental data obtained in a thermocline are then compared with the results of [1,2] for linearly stratified and two-layer liquids.Nizhnii Novgorod.
