Profile Drag Coefficient

Go Profile Drag Coefficient = (Skin Friction Drag Force+Pressure Drag Force)/(Free Stream Dynamic Pressure*Reference Area)

Induced Drag Coefficient

Go Induced Drag Coefficient = Induced Drag/(Free Stream Dynamic Pressure*Reference Area)

Velocity Induced at Point by Semi-infinite Straight Vortex Filament

Go Induced Velocity = Vortex Strength/(4*pi*Perpendicular Distance to Vortex)

Velocity Induced at Point by Infinite Straight Vortex Filament

Go Induced Velocity = Vortex Strength/(2*pi*Perpendicular Distance to Vortex)

Induced Drag Coefficient given Total Drag Coefficient

Go Induced Drag Coefficient = Total Drag Coefficient-Profile Drag Coefficient

Profile Drag Coefficient given Total Drag Coefficient

Go Profile Drag Coefficient = Total Drag Coefficient-Induced Drag Coefficient

Total Drag Coefficient for Subsonic Finite Wing

Go Total Drag Coefficient = Profile Drag Coefficient+Induced Drag Coefficient

Total Drag Coefficient for Subsonic Finite Wing Formula

Total Drag Coefficient = Profile Drag Coefficient+Induced Drag Coefficient
C_D = c_d+C_D,i

Why is drag coefficient important?

Drag coefficients allow aerodynamicists to analyze the aerodynamic efficiency of an object, regardless of its size or velocity. This means that you can compare the aerodynamics of a cyclist with a building.
