Form Drag calculator

A drag equation calculator is a tool or software program used to compute the drag force acting on an object moving through a fluid. The drag equation, which is typically used in these calculators, relates the drag force to various parameters such as the shape of the object, its velocity relative to the fluid, the density of the fluid, and a drag coefficient that represents the object’s interaction with the fluid.

Where:

• $D$ is the drag force,
• Cd​ is the drag coefficient (depends on the shape of the object),
• $A$ is the reference area (usually the frontal area of the object),
• $\rho$ is the density of the fluid,
• $V$ is the velocity of the object relative to the fluid.
