Freestream Density by Kutta-Joukowski Theorem Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Freestream Density = Lift per Unit Span/(Freestream Velocity*Vortex Strength)
ρ_∞ = L'/(V_∞*Γ)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Freestream Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Freestream Density is the mass per unit volume of air far upstream of an aerodynamic body at a given altitude.
Lift per Unit Span - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Lift per Unit Span is defined for a two-dimensional body. The lift is the component of resultant force (caused by pressure and shear stress distribution) perpendicular to the freestream velocity.
Freestream Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Freestream Velocity signifies the speed or velocity of a fluid flow far from any disturbances or obstacles.
Vortex Strength - (Measured in Square Meter per Second) - Vortex Strength quantifies the intensity or magnitude of a vortex in fluid dynamics.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Lift per Unit Span: 5.9 Newton per Meter --> 5.9 Newton per Meter No Conversion Required
