The pressure coefficient at the location on the airfoil surface where the pressure is a minimum, denoted as “Cp,A,” is a dimensionless aerodynamic parameter that describes the local pressure distribution on an airfoil. Specifically, Cp,A represents the pressure coefficient at the point on the airfoil where the pressure is at its lowest relative to the freestream pressure.Â
- Pressure coefficient at point A (Cp,A)
- Ratio of static pressures in the freestream and at point A (pA/p∞)
- Freestream Mach number (M∞)
- Specific heat ratio (γ)
