Drag coefficient for flat plate Calculator

The drag coefficient (c) for a flat plate is a dimensionless quantity that characterizes the aerodynamic drag or resistance experienced by the flat plate as it moves through a fluid medium. It provides a standardized measure of how effectively the flat plate’s shape and orientation affect the drag force. 

  • Specific heat ratio (γ)
  • Mach number (M1)
  • Ratio of pressure on the bottom surface to the freestream static pressure (p3/p1)
  • Ratio of pressure on the top surface to the freestream static pressure (p2/p1)
  • Angle of attack (α) in rad
  • Drag coefficient (cd)
