How to Calculate Drag Force over Flat Plate?
Drag Force over Flat Plate calculator uses Drag Force = 0.5*Freestream Density*Freestream Velocity^2*Reference Area*Drag Coefficient to calculate the Drag Force, Drag Force over Flat Plate formula is defined as a measure of the resistance to motion of a flat plate moving through a fluid, such as air or water, due to the viscous effects of the fluid, which depends on the density and velocity of the fluid, as well as the surface area and drag coefficient of the plate. Drag Force is denoted by FD symbol.
