Pressure drag is the component of drag that is caused by the difference in pressure between the front and back of the object.<\/p>\n<p>A circular disc or plate held normal to flow has a very large surface area in contact with the fluid, and the fluid flows over the surface of the disc in a very turbulent manner.
