Aerodynamic Calculator
Calculate aerodynamic forces and performance metrics. Understand how shape, velocity, and fluid properties affect lift, drag, and efficiency.
Step 1: Object & Fluid Properties
Aerodynamic Principles
Aerodynamics studies how gases interact with moving objects. The key forces are lift (perpendicular to flow) and drag (parallel to flow). These depend on object shape, velocity, fluid density, and viscosity.
Step 2: Aerodynamic Coefficients
About Aerodynamic Coefficients
Coefficients represent how efficiently an object generates lift or experiences drag. Lower drag coefficients indicate more streamlined shapes. Lift coefficients vary with angle of attack and wing shape.

Aerodynamic Calculation Formula
Lift = 0.5 × ρ × v² × A × Cl | Drag = 0.5 × ρ × v² × A × Cd
Aerodynamic forces are calculated using standard fluid dynamics formulas that consider fluid density (ρ), velocity (v), reference area (A), and aerodynamic coefficients (Cl, Cd). Actual performance may vary based on surface finish, turbulence, and three-dimensional effects.
