    The document defines three aerodynamic coefficients - drag coefficient (Cd), lift coefficient (Cl), and pressure coefficient (Cp) - in terms of other physical variables like cross-sectional area, diameter, height, pressure, density, temperature, and speed. The drag and lift coefficients are expressed as functions of the drag or lift force divided by dynamic pressure times a reference area. The pressure coefficient is defined as the difference between local and freestream pressure divided by dynamic pressure.

    Drag Coefficient (3D)

    Cd = drag coefficient, [Cd] = 1 Drag = drag force, [Drag] = N A = cross section area, [A] = m**2 D = diameter, [D] = m; h = height along z, [h] = m;

    Code returns adimensional variables, so,

    ( So,

    )(

    ) (

    Lift Coefficient (Cl)

    analogous,

    Pressure Coefficient (Cp)

    where adimensional pressure is pressure/(rho*vel**2), and with equation of state adopted (ideal gas): rho*R*T and with sound velocity relation (ideal gas): c**2=gamma*R*T

    so
