Drag force
Input(s)
\(\rho\): Density of the Fluid \(\left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)\)
v: Speed of the Object Relative to the Fluid (m/s)
\(\boldsymbol{C}_{\boldsymbol{d}}\): Drag Coefficient (dimensionless)
A: Cross Sectional Area \(\left(\mathrm{m}^{2}\right)\)
Output(s)
\(\boldsymbol{F}_{\boldsymbol{D}}\): Drag Force (N)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{D}}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) * \rho * \mathrm{v}^{2} * \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{d}} * \mathrm{~A}
\]
