Viscous shearing force

Hi everyone,

Just a quick question:

Does simscale take into account the viscous shearing force when calculating drag force?

Best,
Daniel

Hi there,
Thank you for posting on the forum
By integrating the distribution of the pressures and viscous (shear) forces along the surface, all the overall forces and moments can be calculated. The drag coefficient would be one such force (in addition to lift and lateral forces) that will be a result.

You can refer to this article for more information

Thank you very much!
