In fluid dynamics, the drag coefficient (commonly denoted as C d , C x or C w ) is a dimensionless quantity which is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid en...

Aerodynamic drag is the retarding force that acts on moving aerodynamic body in the direction of the freestream flow. From the body's perspective (near-field approach), the drag comes from forces due...

Just as airplane engines are needed to overcome the drag of the plane, a racecar engine has to overcome the drag of the car, including the wings. ... For real body shapes, air at standard conditions, V in mph, and drag in pounds of force, this equation becomes:

The force on an object that resists its motion through a fluid is called drag. When the fluid is a gas like air, it is called aerodynamic drag (or air resistance). When the fluid is a liquid like water it is called hydrodynamic drag (but never "water resistance").

Aerodynamic drag consists of two forces: air pressure drag and direct friction (also known as surface friction or skin friction). A blunt, irregular object disturbs the air flowing around it, forcing the air to separate from the object's surface.

Any object moving through the air will encounter a force opposing the object's motion due to friction with the air. This retarding force is called a DRAG. More generally, the object can be moving through ANY fluid, not just air. ... Aerodynamic Lift; Friction - Air;

Notice that the area (A) given in the drag equation is given as a reference area. The drag depends directly on the size of the body. Since we are dealing with aerodynamic forces, the dependence can be characterized by some area.

Mathematically, the summation is indicated by the Greek letter sigma ( ) The net aerodynamic force F is equal to the sum of the product of the pressure p times the area A in the normal direction. ... Definitions of Lift and Drag...

All objects have a certain amount of aerodynamic drag. In this article, I will be looking at how drag affects a vehicle's ability to accelerate, and the top speed. I will not be covering the actual study of automotive aerodynamics in detail.
