How to Calculate Side force coefficient?
Side force coefficient calculator uses Side Force Coefficient = Aerodynamic Side Force/(Dynamic Pressure*Reference Area) to calculate the Side Force Coefficient, The side force coefficient is a dimensionless quantity that characterizes the lift force generated by an object, typically an airfoil or wing, as it moves through a fluid, such as air or water, and is a critical parameter in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. Side Force Coefficient is denoted by Cy symbol.
