What is Lift Coefficient?
The Lift Coefficient (Cl) is a dimensionless factor that describes the lift force generated by an object, like an airfoil or wing, as it moves through a fluid, relative to its surface area and the fluid’s dynamic pressure. It depends on the shape, angle of attack, and surface smoothness of the object, and is essential in analyzing the efficiency of wings and blades in generating lift for applications in aviation and wind energy.
How to Calculate Lift Coefficient of Blade of Wind Rotor?
Lift Coefficient of Blade of Wind Rotor calculator uses Lift Coefficient of Blade of Wind Rotor = Lift Force/(0.5*Density of air VC*pi*Rotor Radius^2*Free Stream Wind Speed^2) to calculate the Lift Coefficient of Blade of Wind Rotor, The Lift Coefficient of Blade of Wind Rotor is defined as the ratio of the lift force on the blade to the force of the free stream wind. Lift Coefficient of Blade of Wind Rotor is denoted by CL symbol.
