Lift coefficient for flat plate Calculate

The lift coefficient (c) for a flat plate is a dimensionless quantity used to describe the lift generated by the flat plate in a fluid flow. It provides a normalized measure of the lift force relative to the dynamic pressure and the reference area. 
  • Lift coefficient (cl) Lift per unit span (L’) in N/m
  • Specific heat ratio (γ)
  • Freestream static pressure (p1) in N/m^2
  • Mach number (M1)
  • Length of the flat plate (c) in m
