The skin-friction coefficient for turbulent flow Cf is proportional to Rec. The proportionality constant is_____(a) 0.074(b) 0.64(c) 0.33(d) 1.328I had been asked this question in an international level competition.The question is from Turbulent Flow topic in division Incompressible Flow over Airfoils of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Correct choice is (a) 0.074

The best explanation: The coefficient of skin-friction drag for TURBULENT flow is GIVEN as Cf=\(\FRAC {0.074}{\sqrt[5]{Re_c}}\) where Rec is the REYNOLDS number at the trailing edge. The required CONSTANT is 0.074. For laminar flows, the constant of proportionality is different.
