Calculating the lift force acting on the body

A fluid flowing around the surface of an object exerts a force on it. Lift is the component of this force that is perpendicular to the oncoming flow direction. It contrasts with the drag force, which is the component of the force parallel to the flow direction.

How to Calculate Lift Force?

Lift Force calculator uses Lift Force = Lift Coefficient*Dynamic Pressure*Area for Flow to calculate the Lift Force, Lift Force formula is defined as a measure of the upward force exerted on an object as it moves through a fluid, such as air or water, at high velocities, particularly in the context of hypersonic flow parameters, where the interaction between the object and the fluid is critical. Lift Force is denoted by F_L symbol.

How to calculate Lift Force using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Lift Force, enter Lift Coefficient (C_L), Dynamic Pressure (q) & Area for Flow (A) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Lift Force calculation can be explained with given input values -> 550 = 1.1*10*50.

FAQ

What is Lift Force?

Lift Force formula is defined as a measure of the upward force exerted on an object as it moves through a fluid, such as air or water, at high velocities, particularly in the context of hypersonic flow parameters, where the interaction between the object and the fluid is critical and is represented as F_L = C_L*q*A or Lift Force = Lift Coefficient*Dynamic Pressure*Area for Flow. 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, Dynamic Pressure is simply a convenient name for the quantity which represents the decrease in the pressure due to the velocity of the fluid & Area for flow decreases velocity increases and vice versa. For subsonic flows, M < 1, the behavior resembles that for incompressible flows.
