Pressure Coefficient using Velocity Ratio Formula Elements

Variables
Pressure Coefficient
Pressure Coefficient is a dimensionless parameter and it expresses the local pressure at a certain point on a surface relative to the freestream or ambient pressure.
Symbol: Cp
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Velocity at a Point
Velocity at a Point denotes the direction as well as the speed of the flow at that point.
Symbol: V
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Freestream Velocity
Freestream Velocity is defined as at some distance above the boundary the velocity reaches a constant value that is free stream velocity.
Symbol: u
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
