Drag coefficient

Input(s)

ρ\rho: Mass Density of the Fluid (kg/m3)\left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)

u\mathrm{u}: Flow Speed of the Object Relative to the Fluid (m/s)(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s})

Fd\boldsymbol{F}_{\boldsymbol{d}}: Drag Force (N)(\mathrm{N})

A: Cross Sectional Area (m2)\left(\mathrm{m}^{2}\right)

Output(s)

cd\boldsymbol{c}_{\boldsymbol{d}}: Drag Coefficient (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

cd=2 Fdρu2 A\mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{d}}=\frac{2 * \mathrm{~F}_{\mathrm{d}}}{\rho * \mathrm{u}^{2} * \mathrm{~A}}
