Coefficient Of Drag (Noun)

Meaning

The ratio of the drag on a body moving through air to the product of the velocity and the surface area of the body.

Classification

Nouns denoting quantities and units of measure.

Examples

  • The drag coefficient of the sports car was significantly reduced through the use of aerodynamic design elements such as a rear wing and air curtains.
  • In the study of fluid dynamics, the coefficient of drag is an important factor in determining the resistance a body experiences when moving through a fluid.
  • A lower coefficient of drag means that an object has less air resistance, resulting in reduced wind noise and improved fuel efficiency.
  • Engineers used computational fluid dynamics to optimize the shape of the aircraft and minimize its coefficient of drag.
  • The streamlined shape of the bullet was designed to reduce its coefficient of drag, allowing it to maintain its velocity over long distances.

Synonyms

  • Drag Coefficient

Hypernyms

  • Coefficient
