The normal force coefficient for a flat plate, often denoted as cn, is an aerodynamic parameter used to describe the lift or normal force generated by a flat plate in a fluid flow field. It quantifies how much lift is produced by the flat plate when it is subjected to an oncoming flow. The normal […]

The pressure coefficient at the location of minimum pressure, denoted as “Cp,A,” is an aerodynamic parameter that describes the pressure distribution on the surface of an object, typically an airfoil or wing, at the specific point where the pressure is at its minimum value.  Pressure coefficient at minimum pressure (Cp,A) Specific heat ratio (γ) Freestream

The Karman-Tsien compressibility correction rule, also known as the Karman-Tsien rule, is a concept in aerodynamics and fluid dynamics that provides a method for correcting the lift and drag coefficients (Cl and Cd) of an airfoil or wing operating at subsonic speeds to account for the effects of compressibility, specifically in the transonic regime. This

The lift slope for a swept wing in a compressible flow, denoted as “acomp,” is an aerodynamic parameter that characterizes the rate of change of lift coefficient (Cl) with respect to the angle of attack (α) for a swept wing operating in conditions where compressibility effects, such as changes in air density and the presence

The Pressure Coefficient over the lower surface, denoted as Cp,l​, specifically refers to the pressure coefficient on the lower surface of the flat plate. The pressure coefficient (Cp​) is a dimensionless parameter used in aerodynamics to describe how the local pressure at a specific point on the surface deviates from the freestream pressure. It quantifies
