The moment coefficient about the leading edge (cm,le) is a dimensionless parameter used in aerodynamics to describe the aerodynamic moment or torque acting on an airfoil or wing about its leading edge. It provides a normalized measure of the rotational force that causes the airfoil to pitch or rotate around its leading edge due to […]

The moment coefficient about the leading edge (cm,LE​) is a dimensionless parameter used in aerodynamics to describe the aerodynamic moment or torque acting on an airfoil or wing about its leading edge.

The moment about the leading edge (M’LE​) refers to the torque or twisting effect applied to an object or surface, typically an airfoil or wing, around its leading edge due to aerodynamic forces. In aerodynamics, moments play a crucial role in determining the balance and stability of an aircraft or other objects moving through a

Circulation (Γ) around a closed curve in fluid dynamics is a measure of the rotational motion of fluid particles as they flow along the path of the curve. It quantifies the tendency of fluid elements to circulate or rotate around the closed path due to the presence of vortices or flow patterns.  Γ3​ is the

The local sheet strength (γ) is a term used in fluid dynamics to describe the difference in velocity between adjacent fluid layers within a fluid flow. It represents the velocity gradient or shear between these neighboring layers. The concept of local sheet strength is particularly important in situations where the flow is viscous or turbulent.

In the context of a shock wave, T2​ refers to the temperature of a fluid immediately behind the shock wave. When a fluid encounters a shock wave, its properties undergo rapid changes, including alterations in pressure, temperature, density, and velocity. The temperature T2​ specifically represents the thermodynamic state of the fluid right after passing through

The pressure immediately behind a shock wave, denoted as p2​, refers to the pressure of a fluid right after it has passed through the shock wave. In the context of shock waves, p2​ represents the pressure on the side of the shock wave where the fluid has undergone a rapid and significant increase in pressure

Total temperature (T0​), also known as stagnation temperature or total temperature at stagnation, is a thermodynamic concept used in fluid dynamics to describe the temperature of a fluid flow when both its internal energy and kinetic energy are taken into account. It represents the maximum temperature that a fluid could attain if it is brought

Total pressure (p0​) is a concept in fluid dynamics that represents the sum of static pressure and dynamic pressure at a specific point within a flowing fluid. It takes into account both the pressure due to the fluid’s motion (dynamic pressure) and the pressure exerted by the fluid when it is at rest (static pressure).
