A U-tube manometer is a simple and common device used to measure pressure differences between two points in a fluid system. It consists of a U-shaped glass tube filled with a liquid (often mercury or water) and open at both ends. One end of the U-tube is connected to the point where the pressure is […]

The maximum coefficient of lift (CLmax) is the highest or peak value of the coefficient of lift (CL) that an aerodynamic object, such as an airfoil or wing, can generate under specific conditions. It represents the maximum lift force that the object can produce relative to its properties and the flow conditions. CLmax is achieved

The coefficient of lift (CL) is a dimensionless value that represents the lift generated by an aerodynamic object, such as an airfoil, wing, or any other lifting surface, relative to the properties of the object and the flow conditions. It is a fundamental concept in aerodynamics and plays a crucial role in the design and

The drag coefficient (Cd) for a cone is a dimensionless parameter used to characterize the aerodynamic drag experienced by a cone-shaped body as it moves through a fluid, such as air or water. The drag coefficient is a fundamental concept in fluid dynamics and plays a crucial role in understanding the aerodynamic behavior of various

In aerodynamics, the pressure coefficient (Cp) is a dimensionless parameter that characterizes the pressure distribution on an object’s surface with respect to the ambient pressure of the flow. It provides valuable insights into the aerodynamic behavior of the object.    (Cp) is the pressure coefficient  𝜃c is the half-angle of the cone.  The expression Cp

The pitching moment coefficient (cm) is a dimensionless parameter used in aerodynamics to describe the pitching moment experienced by an object, such as an airfoil or aircraft, as it moves through a fluid (usually air). It is a measure of the aerodynamic force that tends to cause the object to rotate about its center of

The coefficient of drag (Cd), also known as the drag coefficient, is a dimensionless parameter used to quantify the resistance or drag experienced by an object as it moves through a fluid, such as air or water.

The coefficient of lift (cl) for a two-dimensional body, such as an airfoil, is a dimensionless parameter used to describe the lift generated by the body in a fluid flow. It represents the lift force per unit span of the body, normalized by the dynamic pressure of the incoming flow and a reference area.  cl

The Turbulent Prandtl Number, denoted as PrT, is a dimensionless quantity used in fluid mechanics to characterize the behavior of turbulent flows with respect to heat transfer. It is an extension of the concept of Prandtl Number (Pr), which is used for laminar flows.  μT is the eddy viscosity of the fluid (momentum diffusivity). cp
