The drag coefficient for a wedge is a dimensionless quantity that characterizes the aerodynamic drag of a wedge-shaped object moving through a fluid. It’s a valuable parameter in aerodynamics and is used to quantify how efficiently a wedge shape interacts with the fluid flow.
- Drag coefficient (cd)
- Wedge angle (𝜃) in rad
- Pressure over the base (p2) in N/m^2
- Freestream static pressure (p1) in N/m^2
- Dynamic pressure of wedge (q1) in N/m^2
