The “force per unit span acting on the top of the wedge,” denoted as F2′, refers to the aerodynamic force exerted on a unit length of the top surface of a wedge-shaped object that is exposed to a fluid flow. This force is generated due to the interaction between the fluid and the surface of the wedge, resulting in pressure and shear forces.Â
- Ratio of total pressure at bottom surface of wedge to the static pressure at bottom surface of wedge (p01/p1)
- Ratio of total pressure at top surface of wedge to the static pressure at top surface of wedge (p02/p2)
- Static pressure at bottom surface of wedge (p1) in N/m^2Â
- Length of the face of the wedge (l) in m
