The drag coefficient for a thin flat plate is a dimensionless quantity that measures the drag or resistance of a thin flat plate in a fluid environment, such as air or water. The drag coefficient depends on the shape, size, and angle of attack of the plate, as well as the Reynolds number and the Mach number of the flow.
- Drag coefficient (cd)
- Pressure coefficient for bottom surface (Cp3)
- Pressure coefficient for upper surface (Cp2)
- Angle of attack (𝛼) in rad
