We can get the skin-friction drag coefficient for a laminar flow for a flat plate by using x as chord length in local skin- friction drag coefficient calculation.(a) True(b) FalseI had been asked this question in examination.Enquiry is from Laminar Flow in division Incompressible Flow over Airfoils of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Correct choice is (b) False

Best explanation: The skin-friction drag coefficient is Cf=\(\frac {1.328}{\sqrt{Re_c}}\) and the LOCAL skin-friction drag coefficient is Cf=\(\frac {0.664}{\sqrt{Re_x}}\). Cf is calculated by integrating cf over the WHOLE AIRFOIL chord and as visible by the formula, we cannot GET it directly by PUTTING x = c.
