RISDimensionally and Physically Proper Lift, Drag, and Thrust-Related Numbers as Figures of Merit: Normalized Lift, Drag, and Thrust, ηL, ηD, and ηT
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Textbooks state that the lift, drag, and thrust coefficients CL, CD, and CT, are numbers that must be dimensionally proper (i.e., dimensionless) for their use in comparing different data sets. This paper posits that ...
