What factors affect drag?
Drag is influenced by other factors including shape, texture, viscosity (which results in viscous drag or skin friction ), compressibility, lift (which causes induced drag ), boundary layer separation, and so on
How to Calculate Drag Force due to Wind?
Drag Force due to Wind calculator uses Drag Force = 0.5*Air Density*Drag Coefficient*Projected Area of the Vessel*Wind Speed at Height of 10 m^2 to calculate the Drag Force, The Drag Force due to Wind is a force acting opposite to the relative motion of any object moving with respect to a surrounding fluid. Drag Force is denoted by FD symbol.
How to calculate Drag Force due to Wind using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Drag Force due to Wind, enter Air Density (ρair), Drag Coefficient (CD), Projected Area of the Vessel (A) & Wind Speed at Height of 10 m (V10) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Drag Force due to Wind calculation can be explained with given input values -> 37.05625 = 0.5*1.225*0.0025*50*22^2.
