How to Calculate Local skin friction coefficient?
Local skin friction coefficient calculator uses Local Skin-Friction Coefficient = (2*Local Heat Transfer Coefficient)/(Density of Fluid*Specific Heat Capacity*Free Stream Velocity) to calculate the Local Skin-Friction Coefficient, Local skin friction coefficient formula is defined as a dimensionless value that quantifies the frictional force exerted by a fluid on a surface, specifically in the context of flow over a flat plate, providing a crucial parameter in understanding and predicting fluid dynamics and heat transfer phenomena. Local Skin-Friction Coefficient is denoted by Cf symbol.
