How does the coefficient of pressure vary for subsonic flow as the Mach number increases?(a) Increases(b) Decreases(c) Remains same(d) First increases, then decreasesThis question was addressed to me during a job interview.My question is based upon Linearized Pressure Coefficient topic in chapter Linearized and Conical Flows of Aerodynamics

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) Increases

The explanation: The linearized COEFFICIENT of pressure for a subsonic flow varies with RESPECT to the Mach number as follows:

CP ∝ \(\frac {1}{\SQRT {1 – M_∞^2}}\)

According to this proportionality, as the Mach number increases, the coefficient of pressure also increases.
