Use quarter chord.AE 3310 PerformanceChapter 2- Aerodynamics of the Airplane:The Drag PolarAerodynamic CoefficientsFrom intuition and basic knowledge, we know:aerodynamic force = f (velocity, density, size of body, angle of attack, viscosity, compressibility)L = L(ρ∞, V ∞, S, α, µ ∞, a ∞)D = D(ρ∞, V ∞, S, α, µ ∞, a ∞)M = M(ρ∞, V ∞, S, α, µ ∞, a ∞)To find out how the lift on a given body varies with the parameters, we could run a series of windtunnel tests in which the velocity, say, is varied and everything else stays the same. From this wecould extract the change in lift due to change in velocity. If we did this for each parameter, and eachforce (moment), we would have to conduct experiments that resulted in 19 stacks of data (one foreach variation plus a baseline).This is bad: wind tunnel time is very expensive and the whole process is time consuming.AE 3310 PerformanceChapter 2- Aerodynamics of the Airplane:The Drag PolarAerodynamic CoefficientsInstead, let’s define lift, drag, and moment coefficients for a given body:CL =Lq∞ SCD =Dq∞ SCM =Mq∞ Scand q is defined as the dynamic pressure:q = ρ V∞ 212c is defined as a characteristic length of a body, usually the chord lengthNow define the following similarity parameters:Re = ρ ∞ V ∞ cµ ∞Reynold’s Number(based on chord length)M ∞ =V ∞a ∞Mach NumberAE 3310 PerformanceChapter 2- Aerodynamics of the Airplane:The Drag PolarAerodynamic CoefficientsUsing dimensional analysis, we get the following results. For a given body shape:CL = f1( α, Re, M ∞)CD = f2( α, Re, M ∞)CM = f3( α, Re, M ∞)If we conduct the same experiments, we can now get the equivalent data with 10 stacksof data.But more fundamentally, dimensional analysis tells us that, if the Reynold’s Number andthe Mach Number are the same for two different flows (different density, velocity,viscosity, speed of sound), the lift coefficient will be the same, given two geometricallysimilar bodies at the same angle of attack.This is the driving principle behind wind tunnels.But…be careful. In real life, it is very difficult to match both Re and M.AE 3310 PerformanceChapter 2- Aerodynamics of the Airplane:The Drag PolarReference Area, SS is some sort of reference area used to calculate the aerodynamic coefficients.S as wetted area - not common, but is the surface upon which thepressure and shear distributions act, so it is a meaningful geometricquantity when discussing aerodynamic force.S as planform area - the projected area we see when looking down atthe wing or aircraft (the “shadow”).
