Lift Coefficient ELD - The Lift Coefficient ELD is a dimensionless coefficient that relates the lift generated by a lifting body to the fluid density around the body, the fluid velocity and an associated reference area.
Wingspan - (Measured in Meter) - The Wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip.
Circulation at Origin - (Measured in Square Meter per Second) - Circulation at Origin is the circulation when the origin is taken at the center of the bound vortex.
Freestream Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Freestream Velocity is the velocity of air far upstream of an aerodynamic body, that is before the body has a chance to deflect, slow down or compress the air.
Reference Area Origin - (Measured in Square Meter) - Reference Area Origin is arbitrarily an area that is characteristic of the object being considered. For an aircraft wing, the wing's planform area is called the reference wing area.

CL,ELD = pi*b*Γo/(2*V*S0)

Why does drag coefficient increase with lift coefficient?

At low angles, the drag is nearly constant. The effect is called induced drag or drag due to lift. The flow around the wingtips of a finite wing creates an "induced" angle of attack on the wing near the tips. As the angle increases, the lift coefficient increases and this changes the amount of the induced drag.
