The results between the computational pressure coefficient

distribution are similar but at trailing edge of the airfoil the pressure
distribution in the computation assignment is bigger because we
assume inviscid incompressible

The results between the computational pressure coefficient

distributions are similar but at trailing edge of the airfoil the
pressure distribution for the computational assignment is bigger
because we assume inviscid incompressible and in reality viscous
forces are high at the trailing edge due its sharpness.
