Turbulent drag just on region 2, denoted as (Df,2)turbulent, refers to the aerodynamic drag caused by friction between a turbulent flow and the surface of a specific region 2 on an object, such as an airfoil or wing. This drag arises due to the chaotic and irregular motion of the fluid particles in the turbulent […]

Turbulent skin-friction drag (Df,c) refers to the aerodynamic drag that arises from the frictional resistance between a solid surface, such as an airfoil or wing, and a turbulent fluid flow (usually air). It is a component of the total drag experienced by an object moving through a fluid medium, and it results from the interaction

The Reynolds number based on the chord length is a dimensionless parameter used in aerodynamics to characterize the flow regime over an airfoil or wing. It relates the relative importance of inertial forces to viscous forces within the fluid as it flows over the surface of the airfoil.  Rec: Reynolds number based on the chord

The critical Reynolds number (Rexcr) is a dimensionless parameter used in fluid dynamics to characterize the transition from laminar to turbulent flow over an object, such as an airfoil or a pipe. It represents a critical threshold at which the flow behavior changes from being relatively smooth and orderly (laminar) to becoming chaotic and turbulent.

The critical Reynolds number location along the chord (xcr) refers to the specific point or location along the chord length of an airfoil or wing where the flow transition from laminar to turbulent occurs. In other words, it marks the position along the airfoil’s surface where the Reynolds number reaches a critical value that triggers

The skin-friction drag coefficient (Cf) is a dimensionless parameter used in aerodynamics to quantify the amount of skin-friction drag generated by the frictional resistance between a solid surface and the fluid (such as air) flowing over it. It provides a standardized way to express the skin-friction drag relative to the dynamic pressure of the fluid
