Center of Pressure Location for Cambered Airfoil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Center of Pressure = -(Moment Coefficient about Leading Edge*Chord)/Lift Coefficient
x_cp = -(C_m,le*c)/C_L
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Center of Pressure - (Measured in Meter) - The Center of Pressure is the point where the total sum of a pressure field acts on a body, causing a force to act through that point.
Moment Coefficient about Leading Edge - Moment Coefficient about Leading Edge is obtained by dividing the moment about the leading edge by the dynamic pressure, the area, and the chord of the airfoil.
Chord - (Measured in Meter) - A Chord is the precise distance between the leading and trailing edge of the airfoil.
Lift Coefficient - The Lift Coefficient is a dimensionless coefficient that relates the lift generated by a lifting body to the fluid density around the body, the fluid velocity and an associated reference area.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

What is center of pressure?

Center of pressure is the location where the resultant of a distributed load effectively acts on the body. If moments were taken about the center of pressure, the integrated effect of the distributed loads would be zero. In a cambered airfoil, the aerodynamic center and center of pressure are not at the same point.
