Here's a link to the extended version of this video (without any ads) on Nebula - https://nebula.tv/videos/the-efficient-engineer-understanding-aerodynamic-drag-extended-version
Drag and lift are the forces which act on a body moving through a fluid, or on a stationary object in a flowing fluid. We call these aerodynamic forces (if the fluid is a gas) or hydrodynamic forces (if the fluid is a liquid).
This video is all about the drag force. There are two main causes of drag - first we have the pressure distribution around the object, which is particularly significant if flow separation occurs. And then we have the shear stresses acting on the object, which are most significant for streamlined bodies.
