This document discusses turbulent flow and equations for computing drag and lift. Turbulent flow separation can occur at the start due to excessive curvature, even though turbulent flow typically delays separation. Equations (1) are derived from a force body diagram to compute drag and lift coefficients by integrating the pressure coefficient Cp over theta from 0 to 2π, with drag using the cosine of theta and lift using the sine of theta.

1. The seperation happens at the start even though it is a turbulent flow
- we can have negative values even though there is no separation
- excessive curvature
The equation used to compute for the drag and lift can be derived from the force body diagram from figure 1. The following derived equations are as follows:
