    Drag coefficient is calculated by dividing the drag force acting on an object by the product of the fluid density, the object's velocity squared, and its reference area. The reference area is the frontal area of the object that is perpendicular to the direction of motion. 3.

    The drag force is calculated using the equation Fd = 0.5 * ρ * v^2 * Cd * A, where ρ is the density of the fluid, v is the velocity of the object, Cd is the drag coefficient, and A is the cross-sectional area of the object. 3.

    To calculate drag coefficient, you need to know the drag force, the fluid density, the flow speed, and the object's characteristic length. The formula for calculating drag coefficient is CD = Fd / (0.5 x ρ x V^2 x A), where CD is the drag coefficient, Fd is the drag force, ρ is the fluid density, V is the flow speed, and A is the object's ...

    I'm confused since you need lift to calculate the coefficient and its just a loop. I'm confused about how to solve for the Cl. I know that the equation for lift is L = Cl * r * .5 * V^2 * A, and you need the Cl to find lift. However the equation for lift coefficient that I found is (2L)/ (1/2*p*u^2*S) and you need L which is lift to solve for Cl.

    In summary, the conversation discusses the difficulties of finding a table of linear drag coefficients for a spherical object in flight with linear drag. The speaker suggests using a formula that equates the drag coefficient C_ {d} to b, but the other speaker points out that they have different units. However, they mention coming across a ...

  11. Drag Coefficient -- What is the constant K? - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/drag-coefficient-what-is-the-constant-k.1060634

    What is the constant K in the drag coefficient? As I understand, the drag coefficient looks as follows: CD=CD0+CL/πAe. however, the professor threw in a new constant, K, and I am having trouble understanding what this means. The formula now looks like this: CD=CD0+k1CL+k2CL^2.
