Definitions for "Drag Coefficient"
The ratio of the drag on a body moving through air to the product of the velocity and the surface area of the body. A sleek car has a drag coefficient, or "Cd", of about 0.30; a square, flat plate's is 1.98. Also signified by Cx.
A dimensionless measure of the aerodynamic sleekness of an object.
A dimensionless number used in calculating the aerodynamic drag acting on a car. The drag coefficient is a function of such factors as the shape of a car and airflow through the car for cooling or ventilation.
